Apart from Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo, we’d noticed there weren’t many hotties signed up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing (unless Ainsley Harriott’s your thing…).

So hip, hip, hooray for The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness who has just been announced as the 10th celeb to join the line up!

TOP NEWS

The news was announced on Radio 1 today when Jay joined Matt Edmondson live in the studio and revealed the news on air.

“My family are such huge Strictly fans, I know I've made them very happy by taking part - I can’t wait to get started! I love to dance but this is going to be so different from anything I have done before, I'm up for it!"

Jay is best known for being one fifth of The Wanted, who released three albums and achieved 10 top ten UK singles before the group decided to pursue solo careers last year.

Here’s the rest of this year’s Strictly line up!
