After the axe of having presenters last year, it has been decided that presenters would return to the show. Presenting are...

TESS DALY
ZOE BALL


The duo have been presenting the show since it began in Series One, and both have returned following their axe. Talking about returning, Tess said:

"I can't wait, we took a break last year but I'm haoppy to be back into the sparkly life"!

The Glitterball's launch show will be later today.

Reeta Chakrabarti: Hello, I'm Reeta, and I'm best known for presenting BBC News. Normally I dress in formal wear, so all these tassels and sequins are totally new to me. I have no idea what I've let myself in for, but there's now turning back now!

Sheila Hancock: Hi, I'm Sheila Hancock, and I'm a stage and film actress. I've been in Cabaret, Sister Act and as for TV I've been in EastEnders. At 83, I'm the oldest contestant to ever take part in the show, but I won't let that stop me!

Helen Skelton: I'm Helen Skelton, and you best know me for presenting Blue Peter. Being on Blue Peter, some of the things you have to do are terrifying, but none as terrifying as doing this show!

Jessica Ellerby: Hi, I'm Jessica Ellerby and I'm an actress. I've been in a film called Hollow, and I've played a lifeguard named Amber in Benidorm. I'm looking forward to playing all the different characters in each of the dances, so let's go!

Reeta, your partner is...

Sheila, your sister act is....

Danny Wilkin: Hello, I'm Danny Wilkin and I'm best known for being a member of Rixton. We had a number one hit in 2014, with "Me And My Broken Heart". Boybanders tend to do quite well, Tristan Evans and Ricky Wilson did amazingly! The pressure is on!

Gok Wan: Hello!! I'm Gok Wan and I'm a fashion king! I only did the show because of the costumes, the glitter, the tan, sequins, I want more!!

Steve McFadden: Hi, I'm Steve, and I play Phil Mitchell in EastEnders. The prospect of doing this show is blimmin' terrifying, I'll tell you that! I hope I can get a partner that will whip me into shape!

Joel Dommett: Hello, I'm Joel Dommett, and I'm best known for being on Impractical Jokers. During the show, you basically make a fool of yourself, and I hope I don't do it on the dancefloor! Not gonna lie I'm pretty nervous, so hopefully my partner will be kind and help me!

Danny, your heartbreaker is....
Spoiler


Gok, your beauty is...
Spoiler


Steve, your hardwoman is....

Joel, your impractical lady is...

AJ Pritchard
Hi! I'm AJ, and I made it to the semis of BGT! I'm gonna be soft and fun with my partner!

Charlotte Gooch
Hi, I'm Charlotte, and you probably saw me in a few group dances last year. I hope my partner is fun, but not overpowering!

Edyta Herbus
Hi, I'm Edyta, and I won the Eurovision Dance Contest for Poland in 2007. I will be strict but fun!

Taveeta Szymanowicz
Hi, I'm Taveeta, and I appear as Thalia, on the show The Next Step, but I'm also a dancer! I'm so excited!



Now that's cleared up, let's meet our final four ladies- Susie Dent, Florence Welch, Alex Scott and Estelle!

Susie Dent: Hi, I'm Susie, and you probably know me best from Countdown. When I got the call for this show, I just had to do it! Hopefully I'm decent-ish!

Florence Welch: Hello, I am Florence Welch and you probably know me better as Florence + the Machine. I had some songs such as "Spectrum" and "Shake It Out". I wonder "What Kind Of Man" I'll get! I can't believe I said that...

Alex Scott: Hi, I'm Alex, and I'm on the womens football team. I'm used to wearing short shorts, a t-shirt and football boots, so I'm not so sure how the sequins and skirts and heels will look on me! I don't know what I've let myself in for!

Estelle: Hi, I'm Estelle, and you probably know me best for my single "American Boy" in 2009. Recently, I've begun to voice act as Garnet a crystal gem, in Steven Universe, although I don't think I'll be a crystal gem on the dancefloor!


Susie, you will dance with...
Spoiler


Florence, your big, blue and beautiful partner is...
Spoiler


Alex, your goalie is...
Spoiler


Which means Estelle, your not so American Boy is...

Finally, let's meet our final four men- Charlie Clapham, Stephen James, and the Van Tullekens!

Charlie Clapham: Hi, I'm Charlie Clapham, and I play Freddie Roscoe in the soap "Hollyoaks". Being the youngest in the competition, there is a lot of pressure on me to do well, so I hope I can deliver!

Stephen James: Yo, I'm Stephen, and I'm a model. I also used to be a proffessional footballer! I'm totally ready for the sequins and spandex, the tighter the better! I also get to showcase all of my tattoos, so be prepared!

Chris & Xand Van Tulleken: I'm Chris. And I'm Xand. We're TV presenters, best known for presenting Operation Ouch! on CBBC. Hopefully, we won't be saying ouch here!

Charlie, your lovely lady is...
Spoiler


Stephen, your model lady is...
Spoiler


Chris, your doctor is...
Spoiler


Meaning Xand, you have...

That's it! It's time for the group dance! If it goes right, it could be the best thing ever! If it goes wrong, it could still be the best thing ever!
