Toyah Wilcox has revealed she would love to appear on Strictly Come Dancing 2024 after watching her pal on the last series.
The music star shot to fame in the 1980s thanks to hits like It’s a Mystery and Thunder in the Mountains. And, over the years, she’s appeared in a slew of telly shows like Celebrity Mastermind, Splash! and The Chase.
But it turns out Toyah could be set to shimmy on the Strictly dance floor later this year…
Toyah Wilcox teases Strictly 2024 stint
In a new interview, Toyah shared how she watched last year’s series – which was won by Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
What’s more, she is good friends with Angela Rippon who appeared on the series too. And it seems seeing her “extraordinary” pal strut her stuff has inspired Toyah to want to do the same.
I’m friends with Angela Rippon and she was extraordinary.
When asked if she would like to sign up for the show she said: “Oh, God yeah. Well, I’d have to do it sooner rather than later, because I’m not gonna be able to move.” She added to The Mirror: “I’m friends with Angela Rippon and she was extraordinary.”

The musician then noted the gruelling schedule the contestants have to adhere to including rehearsing 10 hours a day every day, as well as the two shows on Saturday.
Toyah was even invited to watch one of the Strictly live shows and she went. But watching the filming take place late in the evening, she was left thinking, could I do this?
She continued: “If I’m going to do it, it’s gonna have to happen within the next few years because I don’t think I’ll be able to move like that in two years time. But, you know, the whole world wants to do Strictly, I wouldn’t say no.”

TV legend Angela Rippon was partnered with Kai Widdrington on last year’s series. The pair became firm favourites with viewers, as well as the judges. Sadly though, the pair became the eighth couple to get the boot from the show.
After Angela and her partner Kai ended up in the dance-off opposite Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, the Come Dancing legend bid her goodbyes following an emotional American smooth to Tea For Two by Ella Fitzgerald.
