Comedian Josh Widdicombe and RuPaul's Drag Race star Tayce have been confirmed as the first two celebrities for this year's Christmas episode of Strictly Come Dancing . Six couples will take part in the annual show, each performing one routine before the studio audience picks a Christmas champion. Stand-up star and podcaster Widdicombe, who will be partnered with Karen Hauer , said: "I am utterly terrified this will end in humiliation and worried I'm going to be so bad I will ruin Christmas for the nation.
Why have I done this?" Meanwhile Tayce - a finalist in the second series of Drag Race UK - will be partnered up with Kai Widdrington and said: "I cannot wait to sleigh on the Strictly Ballroom floor. My partner and I are going to dance for our lives! "In all seriousness, it's an incredible honour to be the first Drag artist to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing . I hope I do all of my Drag Race and Welsh fans proud! Sign me up for all the glitz, glam and discoballs.
