With September fast approaching, rumours about which celebrities will appear on this year's Strictly Come Dancing are seriously heating up. After reports suggested former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts and Steps stars Faye Tozer have already signed up, TWO more celebs have been revealed.
According to new reports, Blue singer Lee Ryan and popular YouTuber Joe Suggs have joined the line-up, with both boys having very big personalities.
A source told the Mirror, “Lee will make great TV - he’s naturally charismatic and very funny." The source then added that despite Lee being in a happy relationship, he is "totally unfazed" by the infamous 'Strictly curse'.
After joining the cast of EastEnders in 2017, Lee, who played the role of barman Woody, left the show in June 2018 and has since been performing at a number of shows with Blue.
As well as Lee, new rumours suggest that Zoella's brother Joe Suggs has also joined the line-up, with bosses at Strictly expected to confirm more of this year's contestants on Monday 13th August. The 26-year-old blogger has racked up a massive fan following over the years, having over eight million subscribers to his YouTube page, ThatcherJoe.
In recent weeks it has also been rumoured thatformer Girls Aloud star Cheryl would be a contestant on this year's show, alongside Olympic diver Tom Daley and former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt.
Despite this, nothing has been 100% confirmed by Strictly bosses.
