Tom Fletcher has confessed that he’s already gotten into trouble with Strictly Come Dancing 2021 bosses.
The McFly star is one of the stars to be preparing to hit the Strictly dancefloor later this month.
Others joining him include Sara Davies, Nina Wadia and AJ Odudu, with whom Tom shares a famous friend in common.
One of the biggest rules bosses have is that contestants have to keep their role on the show secret until the official announcement.
However, it turns out Tom failed to adhere to the rule – and he blames Big Brother presenter Emma Willis!
Tom Fletcher broke a major Strictly Come Dancing rule
He told The Sun: “Me and AJ told each other we were [doing the show] because we both have a mutual friend. Emma Willis is our mutual friend.
“I think it was Emma told me, and I think Emma probably told her, so you could blame Emma Willis.
“But we were sat next to each other for about an hour and neither of us said anything but I think we both knew that we both knew and we confided in each other.”
Tom went on to confesses that he has dreamed of doing Strictly for a decade.

Things are looking good for Tom too, with Betfair revealing the McFly is favourite to win with odds of 4/1.
Tom’s other bandmates have also been pretty busy on the reality show circuit.
