Alex Kingston Reveals Failed Adoption Attempts as She Begins Strictly Run

The disclosure comes alongside fan buzz over her launch‑show pairing with pro Johannes Radebe.

Overview

  • In a Times interview published this week, Kingston said two adoption attempts "had two spectacular fails" after birth mothers "took the money and ran."
  • The ER and Doctor Who actor, 62, is competing on Strictly 2025 and was paired with professional Johannes Radebe on the launch show.
  • Viewers highlighted the Doctor Who link, noting Radebe’s cameo with Ncuti Gatwa in 2024 and calling for a themed routine.
