Gemma Atkinson
“I am honoured to be asked and so thrilled to be joining Strictly Come Dancing 2017! I’m beyond excited and incredibly nervous but I am looking forward to learning a new skill in ballroom and lating dancing and taking on this new challenge.”
Rev Richard Coles
“Cometh the hour, cometh the overweight Vicar with arthritis in his knees.”
Joe McFadden
“Strictly is one of the biggest, most entertaining shows on TV and being asked to be part of it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’m thrilled and terrified about in equal measures!”
Simon Rimmer
“I am so excited, terrified and proud to be invited to be part of Strictly 2017. I’ve always been a HUUUUGE fan of the show. When I put on my sequins and hit the floor it will genuinely be my very first time dancing ballroom and latin. Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me. I can’t wait."
The television stars join the already-announced Mollie King, Davood Ghadami and Ruth Langsford, with more celebrities expected to be announced this week.
Strictly Come Dancing makes its return to BBC One later this year.
