He is the latest star to be confirmed after 53-year-old BBC Breakfast Carol Kirkwood was announced as the sixth contestant on Tuesday.

The Met Office-trained weather presenter certainly looked like she was getting into the swing of things as she strutted her stuff with the 59-year-old news anchor, accompanied by a host of young dancers.
Carol looked a far cry from her regular early morning appearance as she stunned in a form-fitting purple dress, teamed with classic nude court shoes.
Her blonde locks were styled into an elegant chignon with her make-up looking fresh and flawless, and she proved she's already adjusting to the glitz and glamour of Strictly by donning a fun white feather boa.

She said: 'I am beyond excited to be taking part in the best programme on British telly and have been a huge fan since it started!

'I can't even Waltz, I'm useless!'
