How I do it:

First 3 men, first 3 women,
Next 3 men, next 3 women
Final 4 all in one lot

What do you think of the lineup so far?

Nope, one woman tomorrow. I only did two of the men together because they're twins.

Now that Alex is confirmed, does that mean I'm totally wrong with a Vamp? (I'm presuming there's a tattoo fixer and Susie Dent, Amy Williams, Alex Scott and Estelle are correct?)

The fifth celebrity taking part on series five of The Glitterball is.....

ESTELLE

Estelle, 36, is perhaps best known for her number one hit song "American Boy", featuring Kanye West. She is also well known for being the voice of the character Garnet from popular Cartoon Network series, Steven Universe.

Estelle had been heavily rumoured for the show in the past, particularly after performing in last year's results show. Estelle said:

"I'm nervous, I'm terrfied, yet oddly excited. I was meant to do series two, but I had to drop out due to personal reasons. I can't wiat for this year though, and despite being terrified, it looks so much fun!"

It isn't currently known when the next celebrity announcement is.

The Glitterball's Twitter confirmed that the sixth competing contestant would be....

FLORENCE WELCH

Welch, 30, is best known as Florence + the Machine, and has had various hit singles, including "Spectrum", "Shake It Out" and "Ship To Wreck". Welch even went on to headline Glastonbury in 2015, shortly after breaking her toe in Coachella.

Welch might just be the biggest name to ever take part in the show, besides maybe Zoella or Kylie Minogue, and is currently favourite to win at 4/1.

The next announcement will be early tomorrow.

2 correct

Maybe hardman was a bit too vague, I just quickly looked up the decription of an eastenders character the celeb plays

So yes, Danny is basically deconfirmed now

She had a hit single called American Boy, if you listen to it you'll recognise it She also voices Garnet in Steven Universe.
