Sharing her excitement about her foray onto the dancefloor, she said: "This still doesn't feel real, I am overjoyed to be a contestant on this year's show. I have watched Strictly every year with my family and it feels extra special that it's the 20th year, I can't believe I will be the one getting Strictly-fied now.
This is so out of my comfort zone, but I'm up for the journey and will give it my absolute all." The fifth celebrity announcement came after punk princess Toyah Wilcox also confirmed her place on the hit dance show, which has been on air since 2004. Speaking about what's to come , the It's A Mystery singer said: "Wow Strictly Come Dancing, can you believe it! This is going to be a wild and wonderful ride, and I'm here for every sparkly second.
I'm used to performing for big crowds but this is completely fresh for me, how I will do, it's a mystery...
I just want to get cracking and learn some dance routines now! ". Vernon Kay, who is married to Strictly host Tess Daly, also unveiled iconic Go Compare star Wynne Evans as the fourth celebrity during his Radio 2 show earlier today. Sharing his disbelief and joy, Wynne quipped: "I am honestly still pinching myself, a portly balding opera singer, me, taking part in Strictly Come Dancing?! ".
"I'm not entirely sure how I'll get along, if all else fails I'll just have to learn the art of distraction. What I do know is I will give it my all and aim to make Wales proud. I'm definitely going to try and combine my love of Opera into one of my routines.
Plus, after winning Celebrity MasterChef last year, maybe the route to the judges' hearts will be through their stomachs! ". They will be joining JLS singer JB Gill , who was revealed on yesterday's episode (on Monday, 5 August) of This Morning with Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle. "I danced in the Strictly Christmas special over a decade ago and LOVED it, so when I got the call to join Strictly this year, it was an immediate yes from me," he said.
I"'m raring to go to and looking forward to showing off some new skills to the JLS boys. From muddy wellies on the fields of my farm to sequins and Glitterballs - I'm here to embrace it all!." Earlier in the show, Josie and co-host Craig had the honour of announcing the first celebrity signing in the form of comedian Chris McCausland, who is also known for appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox .
"If anybody out there is thinking - How the hell is he going to do that? - then rest assured that I am thinking exactly the same thing. I don't dance, I haven't danced, I can't dance, I can't see the dancing I will have to do. What can possibly go wrong? ".
