Ranvir Singh opened up on Strictly Come Dancing's rules

Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh has revealed the stringent rules of the BBC show, confessing that she was only permitted to keep one memento from her time on the dance floor.

Shared this information while filling in for Lorraine Kelly on her eponymous show, Ranvir showcased a photo of the stunning purple dress she donned during her stint on Strictly, revealing to entertainment correspondent Tyler West that it was the "one dress" she was allowed to retain, underscoring the rigorous rules of the show.

Pointing to the elegant garment displayed on the screen, she exclaimed: "That was the one dress I was allowed to take! You're not allowed to take anything from Strictly- but they gave me that one!"

During her 2020 run on Strictly, Ranvir was paired with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, and the duo made an impressive showing, securing fourth place in the competition.

Reflecting on her experience, Ranvir had previously expressed her excitement at participating in the show, saying: "I write myself off quite a lot, but Strictly is reigniting a small modicum of pride in what my body can achieve, even though I take ill upon it. I think that's the joy of Strictly. It's a big moment in anybody's life to be on Strictly. It's invigorating, it's exhilarating, and you feel incredibly lucky."

On Lorraine's show, Ranvir and Tyler delved into a discussion about 2023 Strictly contestant Layton Williams and his decision to wear a dress during his stint on the show.

A source reportedly told The Mirror about the actor's unique choice of attire: "Layton made it clear very early on that he didn’t want to be pinned down to just wearing male costumes." The insider added: "He wanted his Strictly outfits to reflect different sides of his personality and everyone fully supports him on that. So he will have a chance to wear Strictly dresses, as well as the men’s sharp suits, when he performs. There are some really exciting looks in there. Layton can’t wait to get started, the source explained to the publication."
