Like Fury, arguably Gladiators‘ biggest breakout star, Jodie Ounsley, is best known for trying to reduce rivals to human jam – with a big smile on her face. Jodie is one of six celebrities competing in the Strictly Christmas Special, and she will have to fight her instincts if Neil Jones is to make it through the 75-minute festive feature unscathed.
You can see Strictly Come Dancing Christmas offer 2025 online anywhere with a VPN and potentially free.
Being a former international rugby player, Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion and. holder of the Guinness World Record for the fastest 50m sprint… while carrying a 20kg bag of coal, Jodie’s certainly got the athleticism, but one of her rivals for the title as Strictly Christmas Master has actual dance experience.
Comedian and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé dabbled in street-locking and break-dancing back then, and we’re about to find out if he’s holding back out of modesty or bracing himself for an embarrassing fall. His guy I’m a celebrity Get me out of here and Gogglebox Alumnus Scarlett Moffatt, meanwhile, is a self-confessed superfan of the show.
Rounding out the cast is Nicholas Bailey, aka Dr. Anthony Trueman from EastEndersBrian McFadden from Westlife and Melanie Blatt from All Saints. At a recent appearance on Don’t forget the BuzzcocksMelanie’s memory skills would have made a goldfish blush, so it’s possible that Kai Widdrington has drawn the short straw.
