Toyah joins Strictly Come Dancing

It has been announced by the BBC that Toyah will be one of the celebrity dancers on Strictly Come Dancing this year.

The star, who has been delighting crowds at festivals throughout the summer with her husband Robert Fripp, was confirmed by the BBC on Vernon Kay’s Radio 2 show.

“Wow Strictly Come Dancing, can you believe it! This is going to be a wild and wonderful ride, and I’m here for every sparkly second. I’m used to performing for big crowds but this is completely fresh for me, how I will do, it’s a mystery… I just want to get cracking and learn some dance routines now!,” she said.

The singer, who released one of the most imperious pop albums of her entire career in 2021 with Posh Pop, has been performing across stage and screen for over 50 years and has amassed 13 top 40 singles.
