Singer and actor Shayne Ward and Miranda star Sarah Hadland are the latest celebrities to join the Strictly Come Dancing line-up.
Ward rose to fame after winning the second season of The X Factor and later went on to star in Coronation Street as former Underworld factory owner Aidan Connor.
Hadland is perhaps best known as comedian Miranda Hart's best friend Stevie Sutton in the semi-autobiographical BBC comedy Miranda.
Both Ward and Hadland were announced as Strictly contestants on ITV's Lorraine.
Ward told the BBC he is "buzzing to see all of the sparkles and magic that is Strictly in real life".
"I'm no stranger to live TV, but dancing Latin and Ballroom in front of millions is a whole new level," he continued.
"No promises on my dancing ability, but I will give it my best shot!"
Hadland told the BBC she "cannot believe" she is part of Strictly.
"I feel particularly excited to be part of such an iconic show in its 20th year," she continued.
"I'm so ready for the glitz, glam, and glitter and hopefully I can make everyone watching at home proud!"
The series returns to BBC One in the Autumn.
