Will Best is heading for the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom after being confirmed as the sixth celebrity joining this year’s line up.
The TV presenter, 41, shared the news himself and admitted he is feeling just as nervous as he is excited ahead of the new series.
The Big Brother host even confessed he has no idea whether he can actually dance, something he’ll soon find out when Strictly returns in September.

Will revealed his Strictly signing on Instagram as the BBC unveiled his official cast photo.
As well as co-hosting Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother alongside AJ Odudu, he also presents the Hits Radio Breakfast Show.
Speaking in a video shared on Strictly’s Instagram account, Will said: “Oh hey, guys, I’m Will Best. This is surreal. I’m unbelievably excited and more than a little terrified to be able to say I’m doing Strictly this year!
“I can’t believe it. I’m so nervous already but it’s going to be so fun. I love the show and can’t wait to find out if I can dance.
“I’ve got no idea, but we can all find out together. It’s all in the hips, isn’t it?”
Will then attempted an impromptu dance in his kitchen before quickly deciding he might need a bit more practice first.
