Jacob Watts, operations director of Project D said: “It’s amazing to think that Adam Peaty, a double Olympic gold-winning champion and the fastest swimmer in the world, is a fan of our doughnuts.

“I can’t say we’re your typical Strictly fans, but we’ll certainly be paying attention to how he gets on. Maybe we’ll even create a special glitter-ball themed doughnut if he wins that. too.”
