star has given fans a bit of insight into the cast’s infamous WhatsApp group – which is still very active.

Dan was one of 15 celebrities who took to the dance floor in the hope of becoming the latest Strictly champion. 

Ultimately, it was who took the title, . 

While it might be a good few months since the finale, many of the contestants are still in frequent contact.

A fan asked broadcaster Dan, who reached the quarter-finals with Nadiya Bychkova: ‘Do you still chat with the @bbcstrictly class of 2021?’

Dan replied with a screengrab of the chat, which is called ‘Dan’s Strictly Gossip’ – with a very familiar face alongside. 

He captioned the response: ‘Yes, this is the name of our WhatsApp group.

‘It was named by @saradaviescc and the pictures of the amazing @1judilove getting papped!’

We can’t even begin to imagine the absolute gold encased in this group chat.

Speaking to the  last year, TV presenter Dan previously teased a couple of on the messaging platform in the latter weeks of the competition.

He said: ‘We started off with all 15 [contestants]. Most who have left [the show] have stayed in the group.’

But when asked if he could reveal who had decided to quit the group, he teased: ‘I can tell you nothing!’

Some of the cast reunited when the tour went up and down the country earlier this year, travelling to cities including Manchester and London. 

Stars including Sara Davies, Tilly Ramsay and Rhys Stephenson got their dancing shoes back on one last time and had a hell of a lot of fun whilst doing so. 

Since last year’s series, two of the fans’ favourite pro dancers have confirmed their exits from the show. 

Oti Mabuse and they wouldn’t be returning, with Oti already lining up several TV gigs. 

Aljaž’s exit comes just a year after his wife Janette Manrara’s stint as a pro came to an end – and she now presents weeknight spin-off It Takes Two. 

Strictly Come Dancing returns later this year to BBC One.
