The BBC has announced the final three names taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, completing the line-up.
Fresh from taking yet another medal at the Rio Olympics, athlete Greg Rutherford will be taking to the dancefloor when the show returns this autumn.
Also joining the show is EastEnders’ Tameka Empson, best known for playing Kim Fox in the BBC soap.
Finally there’s actress and broadcaster Lesley Joseph, who played Dorien Green in Birds of a Feather.
“I can be very competitive when I want to be,” Joseph said.
“But I don’t want to spoil the fun of Strictly. I want to enjoy the experience of learning and indulge in the fun of the show.”
“I’ve done musicals all my life so I’ve got rhythm and co-ordination and I know how to perform.
