With months of secrecy over, the Strictly Come Dancing 2015 celebrity line-up is finally being confirmed. We'll have a full set of 15 celebrities, ready for their spray tans, before you can say rhinestone.
Here is a run down of this year's Strictly Come Dancing celebs, as they're announced...
The 50-year-old Radio 2 presenter is the very first famous face to be confirmed. Vine appeared on Chris Evans' breakfast show, saying that he signed on the dotted line so he wouldn't have to start 'dad dancing.' "They asked and I just thought I've turned 50 this year. I've got to start dancing properly," he said, adding that he wanted to "be doing the splits by September.”
Former Ready, Steady, Cook presenter Ainsley Harriott become the second celebrity to be confirmed for this year's Strictly Come Dancing live on The One Show. The 58-year-old said: "I must admit that I do love to dance, but doing it in front of the nation is a whole different matter! In my day job the only type of Salsa I know about is the one in my recipes so I am looking forward to rising to the challenge, bring it on!”

Former Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote was the fourth famous face to be unveiled, revealing her identity on BBC Breakfast with presenters Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. The 24-year-old – who played Katy Armstorng in the long-running soap, before her departure in March – said: “I am so excited to be part of Strictly 2015! It is something I have always wanted to take part in and now I just can’t wait to get started! I love dancing and I love a challenge so this is the perfect experience for me."
Katie Derham

Known for her BBC Proms coverage, Derham, 45, currently presents on BBC Radio 3’s Afternoon On Three and has hosted the Classic BRIT Awards.
Of joining the dance competition, Derham said she’s looking forward to “being taught to dance by world champions” and says she’s keen to be a part of the “camaraderie” which she says always “shines through in the show between the contestants, dancers and the whole team”.
“My dancing daughters have been trying to show me all their stretching exercises.. but they are way out of my league,” Derham joked adding that she’s a “typical wedding dancer”.
“Two glasses of Prosecco and I’m truly fabulous. Or so I think.”
Carol Kirkwood

The 53-year-old's identity was revealed by former contestant Bill Turnball, who is bound to be giving her some insider tips for success on the dance floor.
“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 wait to learn to dance and hope my experience on Strictly will be a breeze, whether it will be or not is one forecast I cannot predict!” said Carol.
Peter Andre


"I don't know if I'm as good as needed, but I'm going to try..." says Irish crooner and television presenter O'Donnell. Modesty personified, especially from a man who is nothing short of a superstar in his homeland (and no slouch elsewhere – in 2012, he became the first artist to have had a different album in the British charts every year for 25 consecutive years). "I think I'll enjoy it. I'm looking forward to enjoying it more than anything," he adds. "I'm a great fan of the show." O'Donnell also revealed he'd previously been approached a few times to do the Christmas special. "It's an honour to be asked," he says.

Jay McGuiness

Jay McGuiness, best-known for being part of boy band The Wanted, is the latest to join the ranks. The band are currently not working on music together, so that leaves plenty of time for Jay to hit the dance floor. The lads appear to have a taste for reality TV, with Tom Parker recently taking part in Celebrity MasterChef. Here's hoping Jay doesn't have any All Time Low scores…
Anita Rani

Jamelia

"My girls are huge fans of Strictly, but when I told them I was doing it they laughed as they know that dancing is not my forté!" she said, adding: "The girls are amazing dancers though so I definitely want to learn a new skill so that I'll be able to give them a run for their money, and end them teasing me once and for all!”
Helen George

Helen George is lucky contestant number 13, as revealed at the Edinburgh TV Festival. The actress – who trained in musical theatre at the Royal Acadmey of Music – is eager to come dancing and can't wait to slip into those sequins...
“I’m really excited to be joining Strictly. I know it’s going to be a challenge and if I’m honest I’m slightly terrified, but I can’t wait to get my tan and sequins on!” she said.
