The comedian and presenter announced her participation on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning (Saturday 6th August), and will join Will Mellor<\/a>, Kym Marsh<\/a>, Richie Anderson<\/a> and Kaye Adams<\/a> in competing for the Glitterball, with several more names set to be revealed in due course.<\/p>\n The\u00a0line-up of professional dancers<\/a> was previously announced in July, with four new arrivals joining a host of established Strictly stars \u2013 replacing the likes of Oti Mabuse and Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec who left ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n As she joins the 2022 line-up, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Jayde Adams, including how she\u2019s feeling about joining the show and when we can expect to see her on the dance floor.<\/p> Age:<\/strong> 37 Adams is best known for her work as a stand-up comedian, which has earned her a host of awards including Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe, while her Amazon Prime special Serious Black Jumper received acclaim around the world \u2013 including a place on the Emmy longlist.<\/p>\n She\u2019s also had success both as an actor and a presenter, with roles on hit TV shows such as Alma\u2019s Not Normal, The Outlaws and Good Omens, and hosting gigs on the likes of Channel 4\u2019s Snackmasters and BBC Radio 4 podcast Welcome to the Neighbourhood. She is the star and co-creator of the upcoming ITV2 sitcom Ruby Speaking and will have a role in the Take That film Greatest Days.<\/p>\n Speaking about joining the line-up for the 2022 season, Adams commented: \u201cSince I watched the first series in 2004, I feel like every step I\u2019ve taken in my career over the last 11 years was to be on Strictly. I cannot begin to express the emotions I am feeling, this means so much to me and my family.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always watched it, apart from a brief hiatus in 2011 as I was relentlessly gigging every weekend (to try and get on Strictly). I\u2019ve been a massive fan of the show for years. I feel like I\u2019m watching myself in a dream and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve manifested this. Holding this in has been torture for me!\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re still awaiting an official air date for Strictly Come Dancing this year but it seems likely that it will be back on our screens at some point in the middle of September \u2013 as is normally the case. Last year\u2019s first episode was broadcast on 18th September, so it will probably be a similar start date in 2022.<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One in 2022.
