First three Strictly Come Dancing contestants 'leaked' in epic Good Morning Britain blunder

The first three Strictly Come Dancing contestants for 2019 look to have been leaked on Good Morning Britain this morning.

I'm a Celeb star Iain Lee was doing the showbiz segment on today's show and said the new Strictly stars would be announced on The One Show later today.

But then Iain revealed the names anyway as Sam Allardyce, Jamie Laing and Anneka Rice - reports Mirror Online.

Speaking to hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, Iain said: "They are going to announce the first three people on a show called The One Show – it’s going to be Sam Allardyce, Jamie Laing and Anneka Rice."

Confused, Ben asked: "They are announcing it later and you have already announced it?"

Iain didn't seem too fussed, telling the camera: "Sorry One Show! Sorry Alex Jones!"

Ben then confirmed the names he had been given and Kate said: "See Anneka I think will be good, Jamie will be good. You know Sam quite well."

Her co-host Ben confirmed he did know the former Everton and England manager.

Kate said: "Do you think he's got a quickstep in him?"

Ben replied: "Undoubtedly!"

Strictly are yet to confirm if the trio are taking part in the show - with their latest Instagram post still telling fans the names will be revealed at 7pm.

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
