Strictly Come Dancing 2019 line-up: All the confirmed contestants, from David James to Emma Barton

The line-up of stars taking to the dance floor is slowly being revealed ( BBC )

With the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 launch date waltzing ever closer, BBC One has been revealing the names of the celebrity contestants who will be taking to the dance floor this year.

From footballers and soap stars to comedians and YouTubers, here’s the full list of confirmed celebrities so far…

In July, it was announced that new judge Motsi Mabuse (and sister of pro dancer Oti) would replace ballerina Darcey Bussell, who stepped down from the judging panel after seven years.

Joining Mabuse will be returning judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman back to host the show.

Last year’s series saw broadcaster Stacey Dooley lift the glitterball trophy with professional partner Kevin Clifton.

Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One in September
