Holly Willoughby has been tipped for Strictly Come Dancing 2021
Holly Willoughby is being tipped to take part in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing after Giovanni Pernice said he’d love to dance with her.
Rumours are flying that This Morning’s host Holly Willoughby may be set to join the lineup when wondering who is on Strictly Come Dancing 2021? This news comes after Holly revealed she has written a book, having left fans wondering why she wasn't on This Morning.
Fans have been in a frenzy after Strictly’s professional dancer Giovanni Pernice said he would love to dance with her. Holly’s fellow ITV daytime presenter Ranvir Singh was Giovanni’s partner last year, so the rumours could very well come true.
The Sun reported that Strictly's Anton DuBeke said on the Dance Tour Him&Me that Holly Willoughby would be a great partner for Giovanni.
Anton said, "Who would I pick for Giovanni? If it was a same-sex partner… Luke Evans. Or, I know who would be great… Holly Willoughby."
To which Giovanni replied, "I would love to dance with Holly Willoughby on the show. We would have so much fun and she would do amazing."
Holly also once told Giovanni, "You know I love the show, I'm a massive fan."

Holly announced the huge new project on Instagram earlier this month, telling fans, 'This is a message I’ve been looking forward to sending... I’ve been working on a very special project - a book! Writing is such a personal process and between these pages you will find many little pieces of me.'
