This year's Strictly stars have all been given top secret codenames
With Strictly Come Dancing season just around the corner, fans are busy counting down the days to see the new group of contestants battle it out in the BBC ballroom.
The BBC have come up with some ingenious techniques to stop the big name signings being leaked ahead of the grand reveals, including only telling staff on a need-to-know basis and giving each celebrity contestant a special codename. Radio DJ Scott Mills, who took part in the juggernaut series alongside pro dancer Joanne Clifton in 2014, previously revealed: “They're so worried about it leaking out, obviously the papers try and guess all the time.”
According to reports, singer Tom Fletcher went by the codename Buzz Lightyear and actor because his son has the same name.
