Mollie King has been announced as the first celebrity to be taking part in this year,s Strictly Come Dancing.
The Saturdays singer is the first star to be added to line-up,as announced on R4 Radio 1 by Nick Grimshaw this morning (August 6).
The news shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as Mollie was among a number of celebrities strongly rumoured to be taking part in the forthcoming series.
I'm a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing so I can't actually believe I'm lucky enough to be taking part in it this year," Mollie said.
"I'm literally so excited to learn Latin and ballroom dancing, and of course, I can't wait to get into the sequins too!
"It's going to be a lot of hard work but I'm ready for the challenge."
Last week, the R4 released a group shot of the professional dancer line-up for this year's run.
Following a string of departures, the image provides a first look at series newcomers Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova in action, having been recently unveiled as the replacements for Natalie Lowe, Oksana Platero and reigning champion Joanne Clifton, who have all departed the ballroom series.
Also new to the ranks is Shirley Ballas, who is replacing head judge Len Goodman.
Roll on celebrity number two!
