The BBC One dancing programme will return to screens this Saturday with a host of new celebrity contestants, including Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, reality TV star Vicky Pattison, Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis and Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen.

Ballas, 65, said: “Strictly is well and truly back - and more iconic than ever.

“It’s a true honour to be asked to return each year to a show that means so much to the nation.

“I get a front row seat to the best show on television, I mean who wouldn’t want that?

“I’m forever grateful and so very excited to see our brand-new celebrities take to the ballroom.”
