The announcement comes soon after the BBC announced that Richie Campbell was the third celebrity to be confirmed for the line-up. 

The show will be a huge celebration this year, as it will have the largest group of pro dancers in Strictly history, with four new pros Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas joining this year following Aljaz Skorjanec and Oti Mabuse's exit ahead of the 2022 series.
