I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Iain Lee has accidentally 'revealed' who the first three contestants for Strictly Come Dancing 2019 are. Iain, who works for the BBC, appeared on Good Morning Britain earlier today to discuss the contestants, after the official BBC Strictly Twitter account announced that they would be revealing the first three last night.
They wrote, '🚨It's happening! 🚨Tomorrow we reveal our first THREE #Strictly celebrities of 2019! Tune-in to @BBCTheOneShow from 7pm.'
However, in an appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier today, he let slip that the first three contestants would be football manager Sam Allardyce, Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing and TV presenter Anneka Rice.
He said, "They are going to announce the first three people on a show called The One Show – it’s going to be Sam Allardyce, Jamie Laing and Anneka Rice, to which presenter Ben Shephard said, "They are announcing it later and you have already announced it?" with Iain then saying, "Sorry One Show! Sorry Alex Jones!"
This comes after the news that Strictly professional dancer Oti Mabuse's sister Motsi Mabuse would be taking over from Darcey Bussell, who quit the show as one of the judges earlier this year.
Strictly also announced the signing of a brand new professional dancer, Nancy Xu, who will be joining the cast for this year's series. Although we don't yet have a start date, we can assume that it will be airing a similar time to previous years, with the launch date normally taking place at the end of August or early September.
