Strictly Come Dancing 2025 star Kristian Nairn withdraws from competition – and new celebrity to be confirmed tonight

As a passionate cinephile, I was taken aback when the multi-talented individual, famed for his portrayal of Hodor in HBO’s Game of Thrones and also known for his skills as a DJ, announced on the 21st of August that he had to let down many fans due to unavoidable circumstances. I share in the disappointment and extend my sincere apologies to everyone who was looking forward to whatever exciting project he had planned.
