Strictly Come Dancing's Rylan Clark has set the record straight after fans believed a parrot had been signed up the 2022 series of the BBC One dance contest. The host of spin-off show It Takes Two spoke out after the parody Twitter account @bbcstructly posted a joke 'announcement' that Chanel the African grey parrot, who went viral during lockdown in 2020, had joined the line-up.
The post, with a picture of Chanel and the show's ' daaaa daaaa da'reveal music, read: "She’s an African Grey. She flew towards the canal But is she our next Strictly champion? Breaking out of her cage and into the ballroom and hoping these boots are made for squarking', as we welcome Chanel the African Grey Parrot to #Strictly."
Chanel the parrot became a viral sensation last year after she went missing in Liverpool, leading to her owner Sandra Hannah screaming her name 'CHANELLLLL' in the street in a bid to find her. She went missing again last year and was found a mile away from her house.
