The celebs are starting to knuckle down as the launch date for Strictly Come Dancing has been revealed... and it's just weeks away!
The new season of the popular dance show is due to hit the small screen on Saturday, September 23.
The show, which will once again be hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, will run for 13 weeks with the live final happening on December 16.
Topping the favourites list for this year is our very own Angela Scanlon.
The Meath woman admitted that she has been asked to do the show a few times in the past but up to this year, the timing just hasn't been right.
She will be taking on actors Amanda Abbington, Ellie Leach, Bobby Brazier, Adam Thomas, Nigel Harman, and Les Dennis in the competition.
Sports stars Jody Cundy and Annabel Croft are also getting their competitive heads on as they take to the floor to compete for the Glitterball trophy.
Completing the line-up are broadcasters Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Eddie Kadi, Zara McDermott and Nikita Kanda.
As always with Strictly, there's been a little bit of pre-season drama with one of the celebs being thought to have an unfair advantage- despite being the oldest-ever celeb on the show.
Angela Rippon used to present the news in the 1980s but she also presented the original Come Dancing series and was known for throwing a few shapes herself.
The 2023 celebrity and pro partnerships have yet to be revealed but producers have been watching the celebs practicing group routines to see if they can spot any exciting pairs.
It's been rumoured that most of the pros are clamouring to partner up with Bobby Brazier or Zara McDermott.
