Anthony will be joining the likes of Ainsley Harriott, Peter Andre and Daniel O’Donnell.

He said: "I've faced a lot of tough opposition in the past, but I've never faced anyone as tough as the Strictly judges before! My Mum is a massive fan of the show so I will be trying my hardest to make her proud.”
