\n\n

Strictly season is officially upon us! Fans of the BBC\u2019s long-running dance competition are excited to get their first look at some of the celebrities joining the line-up this year.<\/p>\n

After weeks of rumours, official confirmations began on Friday evening, when actor Amanda Abbington<\/a>, broadcaster Angela Rippon<\/a> and West End star Layton Williams<\/a> were announced to be taking part in the sparkly extravaganza.<\/p>\n

The revelations continued today, as Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy joined Claudia Winkleman on BBC Radio 2 to discuss being the latest addition to the Strictly Come Dancing 2023<\/a> line-up.<\/p>\n

Several other names have been heavily rumoured for spots in the cast recently, from soap star Nigel Harman to presenter\/comedian Les Dennis, but these are yet to be officially confirmed.<\/p>\n

Season 21 is expected to launch on BBC One this September, kicking off another 12 to 13 weeks of waltzes, tangoes and sambas as the stars attempt to top what is sure to be a competitive leaderboard and sail through to the final.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s victor will take over from reigning champ Hamza Yassin<\/a>, who gave Jowita Przysta\u0142<\/a> her first ever win after joining the show the year before \u2013 can she make it a double? Przysta\u0142 is returning alongside many other Strictly Come Dancing 2023 professionals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read on for all the confirmed and potential names on this year\u2019s Strictly line-up, including a rumoured Love Island<\/a> signing \u2013 which would be a first for the show.<\/p>

\u201cPlus, I get to learn to dance which I am incredibly excited about. I\u2019m really looking forward to the training too, I\u2019m quite competitive as my family and friends will tell you. I can\u2019t wait to start!\u201d<\/p>\n

Instagram: <\/strong>@lesdennis<\/a><\/p>\n

Well-known TV presenter and all-round entertainer Les Dennis has reportedly joined the line-up for this year\u2019s Strictly.<\/p>\n

Many will undoubtedly recognise Dennis for being at the helm of gameshow Family Fortunes from 1987 until 2002, and he\u2019s also starred in many TV dramas over the years, most notably in Coronation Street as Michael Rodwell.<\/p>\n

According to The Mail on Sunday<\/a>, Dennis was actually first scouted for Strictly back when he appeared on the soap between 2014 and 2016 but had to turn down the appearance because of his ongoing role.<\/p>\n

Dennis is currently starring in a touring production of West End musical 42nd Street, so dancing and singing is part of his current day-to-day, which bodes well for Strictly. And according to an insider, Dennis is set to be one of this year\u2019s favourites, saying: \u201cThe viewers are going to love Les. He is a TV icon and now he will be dancing on one of the most popular shows around.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe might be about to turn 70 but he is a showman and he will be great entertainment for those watching at home. There is genuine excitement about Les taking part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loose Women presenter Brenda Edwards has reportedly signed up for the new season of Strictly and is a \u201cdream signing\u201d, according to a source (via The Mirror<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Edwards has recently been on our screens as a regular panelist on daytime ITV talkshow Loose Women, as well as presenting BBC One\u2019s Songs of Praise.<\/p>\n

Aside from that, Edwards is a beloved performer, having finished second place on the second series of The X Factor in 2005, and went on to wow audiences in West End productions like Sister Act, Hairspray, Chicago and We Will Rock You.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also spoken candidly about the loss of her son, Jamal, who died last year. A source said of her reported Strictly signing: \u201cShe has a huge fanbase from Loose Women and the talent to go all the way. She also has a very emotional backstory \u2013 the nation adores Brenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the kind of guy that those watching at home will fall in love with and you always need one of those\u2026 The line-up is going to be a great mix,\u201d an insider revealed.<\/p>\n

Harman is best known for playing Sharon Watts\u2019 partner Dennis Rickman on EastEnders for almost three years between April 2003 and December 2005.<\/p>\n

Strictly is known for signing soap stars, particularly EastEnders actors, with the likes of James Bye, Molly Rainford, Maisie Smith and Jake Wood previously taking to the dance floor.<\/p>\n

In 2021, EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis made history as the show\u2019s first ever deaf contestant. She went on to win season 19 with her Giovanni Pernice.<\/p>\n

Zara McDermott is reportedly set to make history as the first ever Love Island contestant to take part in Strictly.<\/p>\n

\u201cZara is the perfect signing for Strictly, not only is she beautiful and glamorous but she is hardworking and will take being on the show very seriously,\u201d a source told MailOnline.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s absolutely loved the experience of documentary making and is over the moon to further her relationship with the BBC by signing up to Strictly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a dream come true for her and becoming the first former Love Island star to do so is the icing on the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zara took part in the ITV2 dating show in 2018, leaving the show in a relationship with fellow islander Adam Collard. The pair split, and she went on to date Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson who she\u2019s still in a relationship with.<\/p>\n

Since appearing on Love Island, Zara has fronted several documentaries for BBC Three, including one on her experience of revenge porn and the rise of eating disorders among teens.<\/p>\n

According to the source, Strictly bosses believe having Zara, 26, on the programme will attract more younger people to watch the show and give her the opportunity to further her career with the broadcaster.<\/p>\n
