Another radio person heads to Strictly as KISS FM’s Tyler West named as seventh contestant

KISS FM’s Tyler West has been named as the seventh celebrity to become a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing 2022.

The news was revealed earlier this morning on KISS Breakfast with Jordan & Perri.

Tyler is the weekday afternoon host on KISS, he was nominated for an ARIA for Best New Presenter in 2020.

He started his broadcasting career on CBBC and has hosted MTV News, HQ Trivia and the 2020 EE BAFTA Awards Red Carpet Live Show. Last year he launched his first BBC Three series, co-hosting Flat out Fabulous as well as becoming the host of The MTV Movie Show.

Tyler says: “I am SO gassed to be joining the Strictly family! As I started writing this I already got cramp. It’s going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone.

“It’s a show that means so much to me and my family and I can’t wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor… with a side of sequins.”
