Paul Merson Joins Strictly Come Dancing Cast

Former footballer and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson is reportedly joining the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. Merson has battled significant personal issues, including addictions to alcohol, drugs, and gambling, and has a controversial past involving a police caution for assaulting his wife. His participation comes amid a turbulent period for the show, which is dealing with allegations of misconduct involving other cast members. Despite his troubled history, insiders believe Merson will be a popular addition to the show, with footballers generally faring well with audiences. Additionally, Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan made history as the first Black couple to win Love Island, and Mimii is a strong contender for upcoming reality shows like Strictly Come Dancing and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
