The fourth celebrity - and first male - to be confirmed for the series is...

NODDY HOLDER

Holder, 70, is best known as the lead singer and musician from 70s group Slade. The band annually enter the singles chart with their festive single "Merry Xmas Everybody".

He told our social media correspondent: "it is a bit weird, the thought of me learning to dance. I'm practically an OAP and I'm getting taught how to move around by a much younger lass!"

Oh my gawd! Tell us we've put two and two together and made five, but Janice from Friends, aka Maggie Wheeler, might be competing in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Wheeler, 55, played Janice Litman, Chandler's former girlfriend, on the popular sitcom for ten years and has become something of a cultural icon. The character is well known among fans for her catchphrase "oh my gawd!", her nasaly voice and jarring laugh.

The actress has been in London for the last fortnight on a promotional tour of FriendsFest, which is touring England until October. She revealed on a TV interview for This Morning that she has an "exciting project" coming up in the UK for the next few months, and that she has moved into a temporary home in London.

In a Radio 2 interview with Dermot O'Leary earlier today, she let slip that she has a "gruelling schedule" approaching, and that she has had to keep very fit. This may all be leading to a simple Christmas panto appearance, but could JANICE actually be doing Strictly? I guess only time will tell...
