Just when you thought Strictly couldn’t get more exciting! Ross King is swapping the ballroom for the stage, and guess who he’s teaming up with? You won’t believe the star-studded pantomime he’s announced, bringing a whole new level of sparkle and surprise. What dazzling role do you think Ross will play next?
The world of celebrity entertainment is abuzz with exciting news as a prominent figure associated with the much-anticipated “Strictly Come Dancing” series has revealed a significant career development even before the popular BBC show commences. This unexpected announcement has captivated fans and industry observers alike, signaling a thrilling new chapter for the star.
Ross King, renowned for his charismatic presence, shared his personal joy regarding his involvement with “Strictly Come Dancing,” describing it as a “dream come true.” He eloquently noted the dramatic shift from the glamour of Hollywood to the vibrant, glittering ballroom, highlighting the iconic status of the dance competition and his profound excitement to be a part of such a celebrated production.
The revelation of King’s new venture unfolded during Thursday’s episode of “Lorraine,” where he teased viewers with hints of “big news.” The eagerly awaited announcement, made public on August 28, confirmed his latest professional undertaking: joining the star-studded cast of a pantomime, a traditional form of musical theatre popular during the festive season.
King elaborated on the origins of this exciting new role, explaining that the deal was orchestrated in Los Angeles. He expressed his immense delight at being invited by Michael Harrison, affectionately known as ‘Mr West End,’ to return to the stage and tread the boards once more, signaling a return to his theatrical roots. This career move adds another fascinating dimension to his already diverse portfolio in show business.
Further heightening the excitement, King unveiled that he would be sharing the stage with none other than the multi-talented Rylan Clark. While Clark was unable to be present in Los Angeles for the deal’s finalization, King confirmed that he would be heading to Southend to collaborate with the “wonderful, Bafta-winning Rylan” in the upcoming theatrical production.
Adding to the buzz surrounding the announcement, Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson made a timely appearance on the “Lorraine” set, preparing for their upcoming return to host “This Morning.” Their presence underscored the collaborative spirit within the entertainment industry and provided an immediate reaction to King’s news, further engaging the audience.
Rylan Clark, candidly admitting his surprise, revealed that he had only learned of Ross King’s involvement in “Cinderella” a mere day before the public announcement. Clark, who made his own successful pantomime debut last year in “Jack and the Beanstalk,” recounted his initial bewilderment upon seeing King at the photoshoot for the production.
Reflecting on the surprising turn of events, Rylan explained his initial thought process: “I go to the photoshoot, not realising Ross King’s there. I was like, ‘Aw Ross, are you here to interview me for Lorraine?’ I had no idea he was in it. The best news ever.” This humorous anecdote highlighted the genuine surprise and subsequent delight at working together, promising a dynamic duo on stage for pantomime enthusiasts.
