STRICTLY JOBS FOR BGT STARS

-

TWO former Britain’s Got Talent contestant­s have landed dream jobs after being chosen to become profession­al dancers on Strictly Come Dancing.

AJ Pritchard (left) and Chloe Hewitt were called “absolutely brilliant” by judge Simon Cowell when they appeared on the ITV show in 2013, reaching the semi-final.

At the time they were just teenagers – and now British champion Chloe has become the BBC One dance programme’s youngest ever profession­al dancer at the age of 20.

She and Pritchard, 21, are among the three dancers newly announced on the 2016 series.

Chester-born Chloe (right) said: “My childhood dream of being on Strictly Come Dancing is now reality!

“The sheer excitement is exhilarati­ng and I cannot wait.”

Pritchard, from Stoke-onTrent, said: “Watch out Strictly, here I come, it is going to be amazing and I feel ecstatic!”
