Admitting Frankie's the only one of the girls shes told so far, Mollie said: "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! 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."

This year also sees three new professional dancers join the Strictly crew; Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova.

So yeah, it's now essentially winter. As you were.
