BBC presenter becomes latest celebrity to sign up for Strictly

The sixth celebrity to join this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing has been confirmed. BBC presenter Angela Scanlon will be taking to the dancefloor this autumn.

Angela explained on the radio that she had told "a few people" ahead of the announcement. She said: "I think I've been grappling myself and hoping for some feedback. "Look, it's been kind of in the ether for a number of years. Truthfully, we wanted to have another baby, we were trying to have a baby, I was then pregnant, then I had a very small child and now it just felt right this year.

Speaking about joining the show, Eddie said: "I'm unbelievably proud and honoured. I promise you, I’m going to give it everything I’ve got," as the news was revealed on Eddie's Afrobeats Chart Show on Sunday afternoon. "It’s very, very privileged, I go to amazing places. I talk to amazing people, but it’s incredibly serious”. He added: “It’s quite stressful. It can be quite difficult and sort of the idea of being able to have pure intravenous joy, because I’m going to be doing the news at the same time, is just irresistible.”
