Tony Adams will be taking to the ballroom floor in September

One person tweeted: "Surely having three members of The Adams Family on is an advantage for them on Halloween week?" while another added: "So I presume the #Halloween #Special will feature the Adams family." 

The three stars join the likes of  Molly Rainford, Fleur East, Matt Goss, Will Mellor and Helen Skelton, who have all confirmed that they will be taking part in the hit show.  

Speaking to the BBC about joining the show, Helen said: "I'm really excited to get stuck into a fun adventure. My family and friends have always loved the show and can't wait for me to get started."

Singer Fleur East has also joined the line-up

Fleur added: "I'm excited to learn new skills and I want to soak up every moment of this magical experience. It’s such an honour to be on the show after years of watching it with my Father who loved it so much. Unfortunately, my Dad is no longer with us but I know he will be watching over the ballroom in spirit. I’m doing this to make him and my family proud and can’t wait to get my dancing shoes on!"
