The line-up for Strictly Come Dancing 2023 is starting to take shape. The BBC ballroom contest is expected to return to TV screens within weeks and the celebrities who will be taking to the dancefloor have begun to be announced.
So far the roll-call of names includes two actors - one of whom will be flying the flag for Greater Manchester - and a legendary newsreader, with plenty more still to come.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are set to host the show again - with the pair having reportedly signed a six-figure deal to stay with Strictly for two more years.
A change will come, however, on the BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two. Janette Manrara is set to present this year's series of It Takes Two with Fleur East following Rylan Clark's departure after four years.
