Andrew Garfield is big Strictly Come Dancing fan

OHMYGOSSIP — Andrew Garfield’s “favourite new past time” is to watch ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 35-year-old actor has admitted he was “overly invested” in the 16th series of the BBC ballroom contest and was routing for last year’s winner, Stacey Dooley and her professional partner Kevin Clifton, to take home the coveted glitterball trophy.
Speaking about his love for the series on ‘The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky’ on Virgin Radio, he told the host: “This is the reason I wanted to come and talk to you this morning, I heard you were maybe going to be on it and I think it’s a match made in heaven. On my sabbatical, one of the many things I’ve done and maybe the most important thing I’ve done on my sabbatical, is I’ve realised how important ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is, not only for the British public but for me as an individual.
“It’s my favourite new past time to sit and get overly invested in whether Stacey Dooley would win or not. I hoped she would win and I was very happy to see it. When I heard you were going to do it, I thought you have to give the people what they want and that is what every person in this country wants!”
BBC bosses have already started booking up celebs for 2019 and radio DJ Chris and news reader Huw Edwards are both believed to have signed up.
The professional dancer line-up for this year’s series has also been confirmed with AJ Pritchard, Aljaz Skorjanec, Amy Dowden, Anton du Beke, Dianne Buswell, Giovanni Pernice, Gorka Marquez, Graziano Di Prima, Janette Manrara, Johannes Radebe, Karen Clifton, Katya Jones, Kevin Clifton, Luba Mushtuk, Nadiya Bychkova, Neil Jones and Oti Mabuse all performing.
Sarah James, executive producer at BBC Studios, said: “We are delighted that this year’s line-up of professional dancers for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is full of familiar faces and fan favourites.
“This amazing cast of incredibly talented world class professional dancers have provided ‘Strictly’ with some of its most memorable moments over the years and with more exciting announcements to come, plus world renowned choreographer Jason Gilkison also returning to the team. ‘Strictly’ 2019 promises to continue to wow viewers with unforgettable performances as we welcome this dazzling line up of pros back to the ballroom.”
