Fans were quick to start guessing who each hint referred to - with one writing, "Wensleydale.. thinking someone from Emmerdale?" Another reasoned that Claudia's "strong, blue cheese" referred to Blue star Lee Ryan, while many think Jarlsberg, which is referred to as "out of this world," might mean astronaut Tim Peake is taking part. Exciting!

On Friday, HELLO! learned that the first star confirmed to join the Strictly line-up is BBC journalist Kate Silverton, who has finally agreed to sign up to the show after being approached by BBC bosses for the past few years. A show insider told the The Sun: "Kate has been at the top of the producers’ wish list for more than a decade. But she has always put her career and family above everything. Now she's polishing off her dancing shoes and can't wait to get started. She was asked previously but was reporting on the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan so couldn't do it."
