On June 8th it was announced Jared would be joining the Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer’s line up for their 8th season.

What is Strictly Come Dancing? Strictly Come Dancing is a British television show, featuring celebrities with professional dance partners competing in Ballroom and Latin dances. The title of the show suggests a continuation of the long-running series Come Dancing, with an allusion to the film Strictly Ballroom. The format has been exported to 30 other countries, and has also inspired a modern-dance themed spin-off Strictly Dance Fever.
