Strictly Come Dancing participant Harry Aikines-Aryeetey is considering a different career path post his involvement in the BBC dance competition. Known for his role as Nitro on Gladiators, Harry has impressed audiences with his dance routines alongside partner Karen Hauer on Strictly Come Dancing, where he is a frontrunner this season.

Expressing his enthusiasm for his journey on Strictly, Harry has hinted at a future venture in the West End post his time on the show. With his increasing muscle mass, Harry jokingly mentioned a potential resemblance to Magic Mike due to his muscle gain from dancing, contrary to the expected muscle loss.

Harry shared his surprise at gaining muscle instead of losing it through dancing, with his physiotherapist even noting the growth in his calves. Crediting the use of Cuban heels for his calf development, Harry reflected on his emotional journey on Strictly, following a past injury during his Gladiators days.

Having undergone surgery and a lengthy recovery period after a kneecap injury, Harry faced uncertainties about his athletic future. Participating in the Christmas edition of Strictly proved to be a positive distraction during his recovery. Now fully recovered, Harry is back on track, with the next season of Gladiators already recorded, featuring the return of the resilient Nitro.
