Tillie, 22, may already be familiar to the show's fans after appearing in the 2023 Christmas special.

Soon after scoring 39 out of 40 with professional dancer Neil Jones, she told the Express she was "desperate" to get on the main series.

Explaining that she "needs to get the full marks", she added: "Strictly gave me a new confidence. Neil supported me through it all, it was the best experience. I would love to do it again with him, just for the moral support as he was so great with me."
