Have you ever wondered when Pothuthic will actually complete a project? So have I, unfortunately I can't promise anything, but I am going to try and complete this series, hopefully I can do it, even if a bit of a less detailed series.
This show will have 10 contestants, all 10 contestants will be paired with a professional partner and will compete until one celebrity is crowned champion (optimistic)
I will be revealing the celebrities daily via my new Twitter @PothsLucky10!
Fingers crossed that these 10 will be my lucky 10!

The 20 year old diver will compete on the show and will be the first diver to do so.
Since winning a medal at the London 2012 Olympics he has starred in Splash! and had his own travel documentary.
He said on his reveal "I'm always looking for new challenges and Stricty is definitely one that I'm excited to get my head into."
Pothuthic commented "We are always looking for famous sportspeople and Tom is certainly the top of his game, we are very excited to see him dance!"
They signed them before it was revealed they were on the Strictly cast which was leaked by The Sun this afternoon.
A source said "Pothuthic was very excited to have this star on board, so for them to be revealed as a contestant on the real show was a bit of a bittersweet moment."
Producers are said to be looking for a late minute replacement with one in mind.
A spokesman for Lucky 10 refused to comment.
Anton du Beke, Brendan Cole, Ola Jordan, James Jordan and Aliona Vilani are amongst those axed.
Aljaz Skorjanec, Janette Manrara and Anya Garnis have all been axed after just one series.
Kristina Rihanoff and Pasha Kovalev complete the list of axings.
Pothuthic has kept Robin Windsor, Kevin Clifton, Iveta Lukosiute, Karen Hauer and Natalie Lowe on the show.
He has also brought back former professionals Ian Waite, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace.
He has also hired Australian professional Sharna Burgess and Irishman Tristan MacManus from Americans Dancing With The Stars.
Pothuthic said "With only 10 celebrities, I had to make some axings and I liked my new blood, so some had to go, I'd like to thank them for their time and they may be back in the future!"
The first celebrity confirmed from the series is Tom Daley with another to be announced daily.
The comedian who this year starred in 'Muppets Most Wanted' this year said "I am always asked to do Reality TV and it always seems a bit optimistic, I would only do Strictly Come Dancing, I'd like to join that, it would be a new skill and maybe I could play a different character every week!"
He continued "I've never actually been asked to do Strictly, but I'd do it if the time was right."
The first celebrity confirmed for this years Strictly is diver Tom Daley.
The baker renamed Dirty Diana by the British public caused a storm after reportedly melting fellow contestant Iain Watter's ice cream dish on Bake Off Wednesday.
She later resigned from the programme due to illness but got #bingate, #Bringiainback, Poor Iain, Baked Alaska and Dirty Diana trending worldwide.
This caused for Watter's place in the competition to terminate as he put his Baked Alaska in the bin, although he has since stated that he could be reinstated due to Beard's departure.
Producers are reportedly begging Beard to do the series to cash in on her current celebrity status and could be replacing Mrs Browns Boys star Jennifer Gibney who pulled out of Lucky 10 to enter the upcoming rival series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Tom Daley has been confirmed whilst Claire Richards, Una Foden and Tracey Emin could also be taking part in the series if The Mirror is correct.
The Northern Irish actress who played Karen Fisher in Waterloo Road, Sam Ryan in Silent Witness and Heather Black in Brookside.
Burton ended up winning 3 National Television Awards for Most Popular Actress for her role in Silent Witness in 1998, 1999 and 2001 as well as a TV Quick award for Best Actress in 2001.
She also recently competed in Celebrity Masterchef where she reached the Semi Finals.
On her appointment she commented "I am very excited to start dancing, I have always wanted to learn how to dance and what a fantastic opportunity to do so!"
Pothuthic added "I am very honoured to welcome Amanda into our cast, she is a fantastic actress and an amazing signing!"
She joins Tom Daley in the line up with Caroline Quentin, Claire Richards and Gino D'Campo also rumoured for the show.
