British boxer Anthony Ogogo signs up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’

There are even more celebrity contestants yet to be announced, the BBC said.

But apropos of dance partners, and earlier this year, Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood revealed that the BBC has chose to feature same-sex pairings on the show, and the – arguably radical – change in format could happen this year. The BBC have yet to confirm a time of transmission, presumably to bide their time to avoid a clash with “The X Factor”. They will then be given a few weeks to practice before the show kicks off.

He and O’Donnell join previously confirmed contestants Peter Andre, Carol Kirkwood, Katie Derham, Georgia May Foote, Kellie Bright, Ainsley Harriott and Jeremy Vine.

It’s been a busy summer for Daniel as he travelled the country with Majella for their upcoming UTV series on Irish B&Bs, which will be broadcast later this year. Everything has just clicked into place to do it this year.

Who will the professional dancers be?

Ola Jordan and Peter have known each other for a while.

Speaking to Free Radio, Peter went to reveal how he had been repeatedly asked to take part in Strictly but schedule clashes had prevented him in the past.

Who will be the musical guests?

Hold My Hand singer Jess Glynne recently announced on Twitter she will be performing on the launch show.

Will “It Takes Two” be back?

Richard is another bookies’ favourite.
