Strictly Come Dancing sensation Harry Aikines-Aryeetey is considering a career shift post his participation in the BBC dance contest. Known for his role as Nitro on Gladiators, Harry has been dazzling the Strictly dance audience with his performances alongside partner Karen Hauer. The talented TV personality is looking to venture into the West End once his Strictly journey concludes.
Harry, who has been building up his muscles, teased about a potential Magic Mike role, attributing his muscle growth to his dance training. Despite expectations of muscle loss due to dancing, Harry shared that he has been gaining muscle instead, with his physiotherapist even noticing the change in his calves.
The Gladiator star opened up about his emotional journey, reflecting on a past injury during Gladiators that left him bedridden for six weeks. The setback led him to doubt his athletic future until he found solace in participating in the Christmas edition of Strictly. Despite limitations during the show, Harry has now fully recovered and is set to return to the upcoming series of Gladiators.
Through the highs and lows, Harry expressed gratitude for his Strictly experience, emphasizing how the dancefloor allowed him to rediscover and showcase his true self to the audience.
