It's set to be a battle of soap stars and the king of British reality television as Georgia May Foote takes on Kellie Bright and Peter Andre in this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Coronation Street actress dazzled in the first official photo for this year's series, wearing a bright blue embellished dress as she smiled for the camera.
The 2015 line-up will be putting their best foot forward on Tuesday as they are paired up with their professional dancer partners for the first time.

This year's contestants include stars of both Coronation Street and EastEnders as well as a bunch of pop stars, broadcasters and sports personalities.
One of the favourites to take the top spot ahead of the competition's start is the 24-year-old former Corrie actress, who played Katy Armstrong on the show.
She is up against EastEnders actress Kellie Bright, 39, who plays Albert Square’s Linda Carter, as well as Call The Midwife’s Helen George, 31.
Singer and reality star Peter Andre, 42, is most likely to take home the trophy, if the bookies are to be believed.

Bookmakers William Hill immediately made the Mysterious Girl crooner their 9/2 favourite to win the show followed by Georgia May Foote at 11/2 and Ainsley Harriott at 10/1.
'Peter Andre will no doubt appeal to many of the viewers, given his reality TV history and should go far,' said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. 'We are convinced he will reach the latter stages of the show.'
The singer himself said he has been taking inspiration from the past when it comes to honing his dance moves ahead of the competition.
'For the past 10 days I’ve been looking at clips of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, the Nicolas Brothers and Sammy Davies Junior to see what they did to make the audience like their performance,' he told Hello Magazine last month.
Other former singers putting on their dancing shoes are noughties songstress and Loose Women panelist Jamelia, 34, The Wanted-member Jay McGuinness, 25 and Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell, 53.

The sports side of things are represented by Welsh athlete Iwan Thomas, 41, and Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo, 26.
They are joined by a host of broadcasters and TV presenters, including Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, 39.
'Sport and fitness have always been a big part of my life but dancing is an entirely new challenge for me. I can't wait to get started,' she said last week.
While BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, 52, has said her dancing abilities are not up to scratch and she hopes she will 'see some improvement from nothing'.
They are joined by TV presenter Anita Rani, 37, celebrity chef Ainsley Harriot, 58, BBC Proms and Radio 3 presenter Katie Derham, 45 and broadcaster Jeremy Vine, 50.
