00:00 Alex Jones and Amol Rajan revealed the first contestant of 2021's Strictly Come Dancing
00:15 was none other than Tom Fletcher.
00:21 Opening up on the pressure he felt from wife Giovanna Fletcher and bandmate Harry Judd,
00:25 who both have successful reality TV careers behind them, Tom admitted his thinking in
00:30 joining the BBC show.
00:36 Presenters Alex and Amol joked that the contestants on this year's Strictly Come Dancing have
00:40 been kept firmly under wraps, using codenames such as Marge Simpson, SpongeBob SquarePants,
00:46 and Buzz Lightyear.
00:52 Amol teased before the reveal. "He's sung about five colours, he's part of a four-piece
00:57 group, he's got three kids, he's half of a famous tour couple with his wife Giovanna."
01:06 Turning around in a Diamante studded chair, the first contestant revealed this year was
01:10 McFly's Tom Fletcher.
01:14 "I'm so pleased the news is out, it's been so hard keeping it a secret," Tom said looking
01:21 relieved.
01:25 The singer and guitarist revealed that former Strictly winner and bandmate Harry Judd was
01:29 a major reason he wanted to sign up, joking, "I can't shut Harry up about Strictly.
01:39 He's been giving me loads of advice already and I remember when he won it, I watched it
01:43 every week and it was partly watching him do that and seeing what an amazing experience
01:47 he had.
01:52 I think since then, I've had a secret little desire to do it," the guitarist continued.
02:01 He later admitted that he was feeling "equals parts excited and terrified. I feel so naked
02:07 without a guitar so that's going to be something to get over."
02:10 However, Tom stated that he approached Harry before signing up as it was "always his thing."
02:19 "I wanted to make sure he was happy with me signing up, which I think he is," he added.
02:31 Alex asked the McFly singer if any of his songs will be played on the show during his
02:35 performances.
02:40 Tom jokingly replied, "Oh, I insist only McFly songs. I'm only dancing to McFly songs."
02:50 Tom could barely contain his excitement as he revealed, "I'm just so excited to find
02:54 out what I'm going to be dancing to and who my partner is.
03:02 It's such a big part of the experience is who you're going to be dancing with and who
03:06 you're going to be spending time with," he remarked.
03:12 I can't wait to find that out! Former bandmate Harry won the series in 2011 with partner
03:17 Aliona Vellani so the singer will have a lot to live up to on the dance floor.
03:25 It didn't take long for fans to express their excitement at Tom signing up to Strictly,
03:30 with one saying on Twitter, "A celebrity that I know a great singing as well welcome to
03:34 the show Tom you will do brilliantly best of luck."
03:41 A second echoed, "Brilliant choice, look forward to watching Tom. Have a feeling this is gonna
03:46 be your best series yet. Way excited and can't wait for the other reveals," added a third.
03:56 While a fourth concurred, "Oh my god I want to cry I am so happy Tom I am voting for you
04:01 every week."
04:06 Trending the two other contestants were revealed to be Robert Webb and presenter AJ Odudu.
04:15 The remainder of the contestants have yet to be revealed but with Robert, Tom, and AJ
04:19 taking part, the 2021 lineup is an impressive one already.
04:28 Tom is currently the favorite to win and Ladbrokes has tipped the star to win at 4/1, with Robert
04:34 at 12/1, and AJ at 8/1.
04:41 As Ladbrokes' Jessica O'Reilly predicted, "It's all about Tom at the top of the Strictly betting
04:50 " Expectations will be high to follow in Harry's footsteps to become king of the dance floor,
04:55 along with added pressure from wife Giovanna as the current queen of the castle
05:03 "I'm not going to be king of the dance floor," said Jessica O'Reilly, who is the queen of
05:10 the castle. "I'm going to be king of the dance floor."
