We're back!

Last series we saw Angie make an early exit, Jenna copying her and making an early exit, Zoella make an early exit, Linda and Paul making a late exit, Jim Chapman existing, Fearne top the leaderboard, Tristan's Tango, byt Kylie Minogue and Aljaž Skorjanec won out in the end.

This series we have a twist; Everything will be written in detail. Newpaper reports, rumours and even judges' comments. Everything is bigger and better.

The BBC have revealed that they will be inducting new methods of announcing celebrities to make it like “a fun guessing game”

Last series we had clues to guess the celebrities, and the BBC have stated that they will take this idea one step further.

A BBC spokesperson told us “This year, we will release separate hints to the celebrities each day until the full lineup is revealed. This way it will be like a fun guessing game for everyone to play. Some of the hints are very vague, so you better get your thinking caps on!”

This new format has been a hit with the critics. One said “This will wind up the excitement and anticipation for next series! We can’t wait!”

Last series saw queen of pop Kylie Minogue win with her professional partner, Aljaž Skorjanec, beating red-hot favourites Tristan Evans and his partner Camilla Dallerup.

The Glitterball will be returning to our screens very shortly.

Presenters Tess Daly and Zoe Ball have confirmed they will be returning for another spin of The Glitterball.

The presenting duo have confirmed they will be returning to our screens soon for The Glitterball.

Daly, 46, presented the show last year and received acclaim for her talents, alongside Ball, 45. Their bubbly personas went down a hit with the viewers. An hour ago Daly tweeted:

Tess Daly
@Tess Daly

Rumours suggest that weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker is being lined up to compete on The Glitterball.

Tomasz Schafernaker, 37 is reportedly being lined up for the show. The Polish weatherman joined BBC Weather Centre in 2000 and is known for sticking the finger live on TV in the belief he was off camera. The video went viral on YouTube.

An unknown source said “Tomasz would be great for a show like The Glitterball. He’s a hunky weatherman who we all know and love. He would fit in perfectly with any cast!

The Glitterball returns soon.

Singer and actress Kellie Crawford has been seen leaving Elstree studios with The Glitterball professional Pasha Kovalev.

Crawford, 41, is most well known for being in the original “Hi 5!” troup with her partner in crime Chats. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she did The Glitterball, as fellow “Hi 5!” member Charli Robinson has participated on “Dancing with the Stars”.

She was seen leaving Elstree studio with pro Pasha Kovalev, 36. We think that this means Kellie is almost definitely doing the show, and could even be partnered with Pasha.. A BBC spokesperson refused to comment.

She's not the only likely candidate, as weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker is reportedly in talks to join the show.

The Glitterball will be back soon.

The BBC have officially announced the celebrity lineup of The Glitterball. Some names include television presenter Dermot O'Leary and, as we predicted, children's entertainer Kellie Crawford

So, finally we have the lineup of "The Glitterball" revealed, so, who is in it?

Instead of Tomasz Schafernaker being our weather presenter, we have Channel 5's Sian Welby.

Also joining is The X Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary and Kaiser Chief Ricky Wilson.

West End performer Sophie Evans and Ireland's 2015 Eurovision entrant Molly Sterling are set to take part.

Of course, as we predicted, Kellie Crawford is joining in.

Footballer Peter Crouch and "Horrid Henry" author Francesca Simon have been confirmed.

Televison judge Robert Rinder and "EastEnders" actor Adam Woodyatt are also confirmed.

Another soap star, Helen Worth, who has appeared on "Coronation Street" for over 40 years is also taking part.

One of the biggest names involved is Mark Lester, who had the starring role in the 1968 musical adaption of "Oliver!"

Finally, we have vocal coach David Grant, comedian Dan Wright and television presenter Naomi Wilkinson to round off the cast.


The launch of The Glitterball is tomorrow at 7pm.
