Really hoping that Mimi is on this.
If she isn't on it, then I'd probably cry. But its still a very good cast so far
When is the rest being announced, I'm just eager to find out if Mimi's on it. Really hope she is
Fingers crossed for Mimi Keene!!
...You do know this is just a game, right?

Very excited to see the rest of the cast, Stuart.

I kind of really want Mimi to be a surprise casting in the real Strictly now, just to see Natalie's reaction.

So do i. I know its just a game, but I'd love her to be on it. I'd put her in my game, only I'd be a little biased and give her 40/40 every week

The obsession over a 16 year girl is quite something.

The BBC have today confirmed that some aspects of the format of Strictly Come Dancing will change for its upcoming series, beginning this Saturday.

They confirmed that fifteen celebrities will take part in the series, following a Daily Star article at the weekend hinting that the number of participants had been upped from last series' fourteen.

Companion show Behind The Ballroom, fronted by former contestant Zoe Ball, will be back to accompany the series. There will be two shows each week, which will feature backstage gossip, costume previews and interviews with contestants and celebrity fans. Training updates will also be posted to the Behind The Ballroom website and Twitter feed.

In addition, voting procedures will be changed to allow viewers more chance to vote. Immediately after each live show, an online poll will open in which viewers can vote. This poll will offer viewers the chance to vote as many times as they wish, but the poll will only be open for a limited amount of time.

Also, all viewers can vote using the traditional "ranking" system that has been in place since the Back To The Ballroom makeover in 2013. Finally, each viewer will be given a certain number (believed to be in the region of one hundred) of votes to use as they wish throughout the series. The full voting procedures will be explained once the series has commenced.

Already confirmed to be taking part in the series is singer Conor Maynard; another celebrity will be confirmed by the BBC tonight.

The second celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing is...

MOIRA STUART

Stuart, 65, is a BBC newsreader. She was the first African-Caribbean female newsreader on British television. She now reads the news on Chris Evans' breakfast show on BBC Radio 2.

After the confirmation, Moira told Mail Online; "I got the call one day and I just thought "why not". Any other day and it would have been a definite no! I guess there's no getting out of it now!"

Former world number one tennis player Steffi Graf is the latest name to be linked to the new series of dance contest Strictly Come Dancing.

The German tennis player, 46, is believed to be quite a coup for the BBC, having earned over $20 million in prize money, won twenty two grand slam titles and been considered the greatest female tennis player of all time. It is said that she signed up for the show to raise awareness of her charity, Children For Tomorrow.

Graf was apparently in talks to join the last series of the reality show, competing alongside fellow German tennis player and friend Boris Becker, but her schedule couldn't allow it.

Becker won six grand slam titles in his career, and reached week six of the contest with dancer partner Katya Virshilas. Will Steffi Graf better him once again and make it past week six?

Strictly Come Dancing returns this Saturday. So far confirmed to be taking part are singer Conor Maynard and newsreader Moira Stuart. A third participating celebrity will be confirmed by the BBC later today.

The next celebrity that will be taking to the dancefloor this series is...

JASON ORANGE

The singer, 45, has achieved eleven number one singles as part of Take That. He left the group last year because he couldn't commit to their new album. He has kept a relatively low profile ever since, but competing in Strictly Come Dancing is bound to change that.

Speaking of the confirmation, Jason told BBC News; "I left Take That to try some new projects, and dancing competitively is something I've never done before. I'm going to give it my all and just see what I can do."

BBC bosses have apparently been lining up big names in music to perform on the Strictly Come Dancing results shows.

It is believed that pop stars such as Kylie Minogue and Leona Lewis could be performing on the show, whilst One Direction and George Ezra have also been given a look in.

Last series, a number of bands and solo artists gave the contestants a run for their money, including Coldplay, Taylor Swift and Kate Bush, who performed her hit "Wuthering Heights" during the grand final.

Strictly Come Dancing's upcoming fourth series will commence with a launch show this Saturday. So far confirmed to be taking part are pop star Conor Maynard, newsreader Moira Stuart and former Take That singer Jason Orange. Another two participating celebrities will be confirmed tomorrow.

The fourth celebrity taking part in Strictly Come Dancing is...

BARRY ELLIOTT

Elliott, 70, is best known for playing his alter ego Barry Chuckle alongside brother Paul on children's television show ChuckleVision and on stage. He has also appeared in a Tinchy Stryder music video and starred in Still Open All Hours.

Barry told The Daily Record after his confirmation; "Paul and I have been getting asked for years but Paul's health hasn't allowed him to do it. He told me to go for it because this might be my last chance. I just hope I won't have to say "to me, to you" to my partner all day!"
