All aboard the Strictly good ship!
He can sing, he can act... but can Shayne Ward dance?
Shayne shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2005, securing a three-album deal with Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh as his manager. His debut single, That’s My Goal, soared to Christmas No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, followed by two more chart-topping albums in 2007 and 2010.
In 2011, Shayne made his West End debut in Rock of Ages and went on to star in The War of the Worlds and Band of Gold. His acting career took off in 2015 when he joined Coronation Street as Aidan Connor, winning Best Newcomer at the 2016 National Television Awards.
While still acting, currently starring in Channel 5's The Good Ship Murder, Shayne has continued his music career, touring internationally especially in Asia and South Africa whilst working on new material in both the UK and Nashville.
He’s got rhythm, but can he bring it to Strictly 2024? We can’t wait to find out!
