| Updated:

Tom Fletcher once confessed that he’d gotten into trouble with Strictly Come Dancing bosses.

The McFly star was one of the stars whohit the Strictly dancefloor back in 2021.

Others who joined included 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 blamed 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.

He said his desire began after watching his bandmate Harry Judd be crowned the winner in 2011.
