With under four hours until the full Strictly Come Dancing line up is revealed, The Sun can now confirm three more celebrities who will be taking to the floor.
So far, singer Conor Maynard, BBC newsreader Moira Stuart, former Take That member Jason Orange, ChuckleVision star Barry Elliott and retired tennis champ Steffi Graf have been confirmed for the upcoming series.
However, The Sun can now exclusively reveal that Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis will be joining them in the upcoming series of the pro-celebrity dance contest. The 26 year old is best known for playing Neville Longbottom in the eight films in the series.
Meanwhile, Olympic rower Heather Stanning has also signed up to the series. Stanning, 30, is believed to have signed up because she "loves a challenge".
In addition, 80s hitmaker and everyone's favourite redhead Tiffany will also be taking to the dancefloor. BBC bosses were apparently "very keen" to sign the I Think We're Alone Now singer up, following fellow 80s pop star Rick Astley's success in the show in series two.
Also thought to be joining them is EastEnders actress Laurie Brett, CBeebies star Justin Fletcher and television presenter Laura Whitmore.
To keep us going, the Strictly Come Dancing official Twitter account have released clues for five of the ten celebrities still to be confirmed. They are as follows:
HIGHER
PEPPER
THE NETHERLANDS
TOWER BRIDGE
WILLIAMS
The full line up will be revealed tonight at 7.30pm.
