Olivia Dean admits she would compete on Strictly Come Dancing

Olivia Dean “actually would” compete on Strictly Come Dancing.

Despite winning four Brits, three Mobo awards and a Grammy so far this year, the singer, 27, says she is up for appearing on the BBC dance show.

Her admission comes as she revealed she has been having dance lessons.

Olivia told Hits Radio: “I’ve been doing salsa lessons recently – just learning a new skill that’s completely separate from my music and still in music.”

When host Marvin Humes asked the performer whether she would take part in BBC One’s Strictly, she replied: “I actually would.”

But, as The Sun reported, Olivia is unlikely to appear on Strictly this year as she is set to tour Australia and New Zealand in October – in the middle of the series.

The music video for her track The Art of Loving shows Olivia in a dance studio.

She is seen in the black-and-white promo wearing a white dress as she walks in between ballet dancers practising their moves and stares at herself in the dance studio mirror.

Olivia also told Hits Radio about how she has a string of unreleased songs in the bag that did not make their way onto her new album.

She added: “Man I Need wasn’t supposed to be a single. But I’m glad I followed through with that one.

“There were loads of songs that didn’t make the album, but I might still do something with them.”

London-born Olivia has emerged as one of the UK’s most distinctive contemporary soul voices, blending pop, jazz and R and B influences.

She first gained attention through collaborations with producers and collectives before establishing herself as a solo act with a string of well-received EPs.

Olivia’s breakthrough came with her debut album Messy, which earned critical acclaim for its honesty and emotional depth.

The record explored themes of love, identity and self-acceptance, helping her connect with a broad audience and securing chart success in Britain.

Her warm, expressive vocals and understated songwriting style have drawn comparisons to classic soul artists while maintaining a modern edge.

She has also performed at major festivals and venues.
