Who is taking part in Strictly Come Dancing 2020?

Here is a rundown of who will be putting their best foot forward on the dance floor.

Jacqui Smith

Labour politician Smith, 57, served as the MP for Redditch from 1997 until 2010 and was the first female home secretary.

She quit the Cabinet in 2009 after it emerged that adult films watched by her husband had been charged to the taxpayer.

Smith later took a backbench position but lost her seat in the 2010 election.

She is now chair of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and a Children's Trust in Sandwell, and has a podcast, For The Many, with broadcaster Iain Dale.

HRVY

Harvey Leigh Cantwell, 21, follows in the footsteps of fellow YouTubers Joe Sugg and Saffron Barker in joining the show.

The former presenter of CBBC's Friday Download, HRVY was born in Kent and first rose to fame after uploading his music videos to Facebook.

He signed to Virgin EMI in 2017 and has supported Little Mix and shared the stage with Jonas Blue at Capital FM's Summertime Ball and Jingle Bell Ball.

HRVY also performed at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2019.

He has more than a billion combined streams to his name and a social media following of more than 10 million globally.

The social media star had to isolate for 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus, but later received a negative test result which put him back in action for the launch show.

Jamie Laing

Made In Chelsea star Laing is returning after having to pull out of last year's series in the early stages due to an injury.

The reality TV star and entrepreneur said he is doing Strictly again in the hopes of making his mum proud.

Off-screen, he has founded his own gourmet sweet company called Candy Kittens, and also hosts a podcast called Private Parts. He is dating his MIC co-star Sophie Habboo.

Maisie Smith

EastEnders actress Smith is best known for her role as Tiffany Butcher-Baker in the soap.

She is no stranger to Strictly, having won the Children In Need Cha Cha in 2019 with professional dancer Kevin Clifton.

However, Smith said she has no technical dance ability and has been staying fit throughout lockdown by making TikTok videos.

JJ Chalmers

Scottish TV presenter JJ Chalmers was the eighth celebrity confirmed for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. He is a former Royal Marine and Invictus Games medallist.

Chalmers, 33, was injured in an IED explosion while serving in Afghanistan in 2011. He competed in the 2014 Invictus Games, where he captained the trike cycling team. He won one gold, as part of a trio, and two bronze medals.

His TV presenting roles include the Rio Paralympics, as well as the Invictus Games and other stints for BBC Sport.

Bill Bailey

The comedian and TV star has appeared on Black Books, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and QI.

The 55-year-old is also a classically trained musician and performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra in 2008 in Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide To The Orchestra.

He has joked that his dance skills are a "little patchy".

Nicola Adams

The Olympic gold medallist will take to the dance floor as part of the show's first same-sex pairing.

The 37-year-old boxer - nicknamed The Lioness - retired with an undefeated record and held the WBO female flyweight title last year.

She also became the first openly LGBT person to win an Olympic box
