Fans of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing have been eagerly awaiting the news of this year's anticipated line up - and now five celebrities are ready to hit the dancefloor
There's no doubt about it - Strictly Come Dancing is the show that's been on everyone's radar at the moment. But as it gears up for its grand return -with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman hosting - BBC bosses are keeping fans on their toes about the highly-anticipated line-up.
During Monday's episode of This Morning, hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle revealed the names of not one but two famous faces who will battle it out lift the Glitterball later this year. Chris was the first famous face unmasked by Josie and Craig live on the ITV daytime show and the funny man joked that the announcement is "the worst kept secret".
He said: "I am honestly still pinching myself, a portly balding opera singer, me, taking part in Strictly Come Dancing?! I’m not entirely sure how I’ll get along, if all else fails I’ll just have to learn the art of distraction. Speaking on Vernon Kay's BBC Radio 2 show on Tuesday 6 August, Toyah said it was her dream come true to appear on Strictly, for an unusual reason. "I played Glastonbury this year, I became a pensioner, and now I will be getting a regular spray tan," she said.
