Speaking about his live presenting debut, Bill Bailey said: "I am delighted to be making my live TV debut with this show. It’ll be a little nerve-wracking, go by in a bit of a whirl, but a lot of fun… a bit like dancing, I imagine."
Bill will also be joined by fellow Strictly alumni AJ Pritchard and his brother, former Love Islander Curtis, who will be chatting about their upcoming dance tour. It will certainly be a jam-packed show as it will also see John Whaite in the kitchen, and will welcome guests including Russell Kane, Miquita Oliver and Alan Johnson.

After, she recently confirmed that she will be back on our television screens from Monday. Taking to her Twitter page on Wednesday, the mum-of-one shared a photo of a funny text exchange and said: "My fave text since starting self-isolation is from my mate @John_Whaite. I'll be back in the studio on Monday. In the meantime, one of my other lovely mates @HelenSkelton is in charge of the @PackedLunchC4 gang."
