Strictly Come Dancing has now announced the eleventh celebrity in its line-up for 2025.
Presenter and reality TV star Vicky Pattison was confirmed as a contestant on Thursday, with the news being revealed on ITV's This Morning.
Pattison is no stranger to a reality competition, having previously won the nation’s hearts on the 2015 series of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! where she was crowned Queen of the Jungle.
She's also been a Celebrity MasterChef finalist, appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, and featured in BBC’s Sport Relief: All Star Games.
Viewers may also recognise Pattison from various presenting roles across MTV, ITV, Channel 5, Channel 4, and TLC.

"I’m absolutely buzzing to be part of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing lineup... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified," Pattinson confessed. "I am a not a natural dancer!
"However, it’s such an amazing opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself in a completely new way and I just really hope I don't make too much of a fool of myself!"
RuPaul's Drag Race UK star La Voix, former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw, The Apprentice Thomas Skinner, and model Ellie Goldstein were all recently announced as celebrity competitors.
EastEnders actor Balvinder Sopal, Doctor Who star Alex Kingston, YouTube star George Clarke, Love Island's Dani Dyer, footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and Olympian-turned-Gladiator-star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (aka Nitro) have also been confirmed in the cast.
Further celebrity competitors will be confirmed in the coming days ahead of Strictly's 2025 series launch this autumn.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
