Huge names from the world of music, TV and beyond have already been unveiled ahead of Strictly’s return in the autumn.

After months of speculation about who the new hosts of the BBC dance competition could be, attention has now turned to which famous faces will be hitting the ballroom when the show returns in the autumn.

Traditionally, Strictly starts revealing its celebrity line-up in early August, ahead of the show’s return in September.

However, this year, it looks like BBC bosses are getting ahead of the rumours and gossip by announcing the line-up early, with stars from across the world of music, TV and more already being unveiled.

The first cast member announced this year was EastEnders star Lacey Turner.

Lacey is best known for playing Stacey Slater in the BBC soap on-and-off since 2005.

She has also starred in the military drama Our Girl and appeared in Call The Midwife.

“I am so excited to be making my way to the dance floor this year to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing! I am a huge fan and can’t quite believe I will be taking part and not watching at home this year!” she said when her Strictly stint was confirmed by the BBC in mid-June.

The soap star added: “I look forward to meeting everyone and learning a new skill!”
