This season will mark 20 years since Strictly first cha cha cha'd its way onto screens and according to Tess Daly, there are hopes of some special surprises along the way!

The cast is a long way away from being confirmed, but whoever does make it into the dazzling celebrity line-up will be looking to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy, which was previously awarded to reigning champs Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.

While the BBC is yet to confirm who will definitely be taking part in this year's Strictly, speculation is rife as to who will take part.

One celebrity who hasn't shied away from the suggestion of taking part in Strictly Come Dancing is Jordan North. The radio DJ was asked on Katie Piper's Breakfast Show if he would ever do the show, to which he replied: "Never say never, that is my motto."

He added: "I did I'm a Celebrity... four years ago now and that was mainly because my mum wanted a new kitchen!"

As he began joking with Piper and fellow guest Craig Revel Horwood, North said: "No I haven't signed anything... yet."
