Strictly Come Dancing fans will finally find out the first name in the 2015 line-up on August 10.
The first celebrity taking part in this year’s series will be announced by Chris Evans on his Radio 2 Breakfast Show, which airs from 6.30 to 9.30am.
Zoe Ball, who hosts Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two, let slip the news while sitting in for Ken Bruce on the same station.
The professional dancers including newlyweds Kevin and Karen Clifton, Janette Manrara, Brendan Cole, Pacha Kovalev and Kristina Rihanoff, have already started rehearsals for the upcoming 13th series of the BBC One dance show.
Ola Jordan, who feared she might never dance again after suffering a knee injury on Channel 4′s show The Jump, is also in the photo.
They are joined by newcomers Otlile Mabuse, Giovanni Pernice and Dancing With The Stars alum Gleb Savchenko, following the exits of Iveta Lukosiute and Trent Whiddon.
Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, singer Michelle Heaton, BBC Breakfast presenter Carol Kirkwood and Adrian Chiles are among the names who have been rumoured to compete for the famous glitterball trophy.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return to share hosting duties, while Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell will reprise their roles on the judging panel.
Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One in the autumn.
