Strictly Ted

Meet Fran and Joseph!Dancing together for the very first time, Fran and Joseph are stepping (and possibly stumbling) into the spotlight for Strictly Ted! Fran brings energy, spirit, and sparkle — a true whirlwind of enthusiasm in sequins. Paired with Joseph, a singer whose rhythm shines… when he's holding a microphone and not moving his feet. Whilst they both may struggle to tell which feet go where at times, their hearts (and humour) are firmly in the right place.They’re dancing not just for glory (and laughs), but to raise money for a fantastic cause. So, cheer them on, because what they lack in coordination, they more than make up for in courage, commitment, and charisma!Please see the parent page of Strictly Ted for more information.

We’re Dancing for Strictly Ted – Help Us Make Every Step Count! Hi everyone! We’re taking on a big (and slightly sparkly) challenge—dancing a waltz and a cha cha cha for the Team Ted Foundation! It’s safe to say we’re well out of our comfort zone, but we’re doing it for a brilliant cause that really matters to us. Between the nerves, the glitter, and the footwork, we’re hoping to raise as much as we can to support the Team Ted Foundation. Every donation—big or small—will make a difference and help us keep going (even when our two left feet say otherwise!).The Team Ted foundation is dedicated to creating unforgettable memories for children across England and Wales who are battling cancer. To find out more about this wonderful charity please visit Team Ted Foundation If you can support us, we’d be so grateful. Thank you for being part of this with us! Jess & Phil

Caitlin has known Teddy’s family for over 15 years. As one of Auntie Issy’s best friends, she has spent many nights at Nannie Sue’s finely tuning her dance moves! By day Caitlin works in the NHS and by show night she aims to be able to make it through the show without standing on Blake’s toes.Blake has been involved in Teddy’s journey through St Bede’s School. Teddy was a boy who brightened everyone’s day with his cheeky smile and his huge energy. Ted’s love for Strictly and a little ‘gentle persuasion’ shall we say from Sue and the school staff has somehow swayed a non-dancer to give Strictly a go! The foundation are doing such great work, that we are both honoured to be a part of it. We will give it our all and our hearts will be there on the big night even if our feet aren’t!

A little bit about us. Dan and Sal met 9 years ago at another fundraiser strictly event, which Sue Kelly was a part of. We weren’t dancing partners then, but quickly formed a friendship. We danced very different dances and so this remains a challenge especially the Waltz! .We have giggled our way through many dance rehearsals and most recently Sal took part in a charity Irish Night, performing for the community. A huge challenge due to illness 4 years ago she was in a wheelchair and had to learn to walk again., never thought dance shoes would make an appearance again! The motivation to learn Irish dancing was inspired by a special young man, Owen Jenkinson who is courageously fighting cancer, he never gives up and has shown strength and resilience beyond measure. It was at this event we saw Sue Kelly, and agreed to take part in Strictly Ted 2025 for the incredible Ted Foundation - it was a no brainer, This charity is doing amazing things providing positive experiences for children and their families going through the darkest of days. We are excited to cha cha cha and waltz around the dance floor and promise to entertain, something Dan is fabulous at. Please support us and this amazing charity if you can.
