JULIAN Caillon may have only just joined the team of pro dancers on Strictly but he’s already shocking us all.
The professional dancer, 29, has been hoping to join the show for years and was finally named as one of two of Strictly Come Dancing 2025’s new pro dancers.

The other was American dancer, Alexis War.
On tonight’s show he met his dance partner – Balvinder Sopal – for the first time, and in a chat with her and Claudia Winkleman he made a shocking confession.
“You do have quite a few superstitions,” said Claudia open-endedly.
“Yeah,” replied Julian.

“I will do every show in the same socks and undies.
“Obviously washing them in between episodes.”
At first Claudia and Bal seemed more curious than disgusted, but the more info they learned the more they began to go “ew”.
“How long have you been wearing this underwear and the socks for, it’s just a question,” Claudia continued.
“Umm, I’ve been wearing them to perform for two years now,” Julian confessed.
This was met by an audible sound of shock from the women, as well as the rest of the show’s new contestants sitting in the back listening in on the conversation.
Bal couldn’t help but ask: “Have they got any holes in them?”.
To which Julian honestly remarked: “Yeah, there’s not much support left.”
Viewers of the show were quick to hop onto X to share their thoughts on the moment.
Some were shocked, others loved the banter, and a few felt a little cheeky.
“Bal and Julian are going to be SO FUNNY together,” one user said.
“I get the feeling lots will want your underwear washed or dirty,” daringly noted another, followed by a series of laughing emojis.
“That’s enough,” said one more with a monkey emoji hiding its face behind its hands.
