The first trio of names for this year's Strictly Come Dancing have been announced.
Peep Show comic Robert Webb and McFly's Tom Fletcher will take to the dancefloor.
Comic Robert, 48, has previously triumphed with his dance moves on the BBC competition Let's Dance for Comic Relief in 2009.

He wowed viewers while playing for laughs while wearing a leotard to perform the iconic What A Feelin' sequence from the movie Flashdance.
He said: “I am ludicrously excited to be taking part in Strictly this year.
"It’s a big, generous, joyful show and I can’t wait to get packed into a spandex onesie and fired from a glitter cannon directly at Claudia Winkleman.
"At least I think that’s what happens.
"My goal is to try and survive from week to week without causing serious injury to myself or innocent bystanders.
"I know it’s going to be a challenge. To do well in this competition is a test of character, although mainly it’s a test of dancing.”
TV, film and theatre star Robert is well known for his comedy partnership with David Mitchell on the long-running Channel Four sitcom Peep Show.
His memoir How Not To Be A Boy became a number one Sunday Times Best Seller.
He underwent open heart surgery in 2019 to save his life after a routine medical check-up before filming the new series of sitcom Back found he had a congenital heart condition.
Singer, guitarist and songwriter Tom is preparing for fake tan and sequins less than a year after his wife Giovanna won I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in Wales.
And the pressure is on because his bandmate drummer Harry Judd previously won Strictly in 2011.
The father-of-three said: “I think the fact that I’m actually going to be dancing on Strictly this year has only just started to sink in while I’m writing this!
"I’m incredibly excited, of course, but also totally terrified!
"My kids were excited too until I started showing them my best dad-dancing in the kitchen.
"I’m not sure how far they’ll get me in the competition but I can’t wait to add some new moves to my embarrassing dad-dancing repertoire.”
Tom is also one of the UK’s bestselling authors for children with books including The Christmasaurus, The Creakers and There’s a Monster in Your Book translated into more than 30 languages.
The final name to be announced on The One Show for Strictly tonight was TV presenter AJ Odudu who has worked on shows including The Voice, The Voice Kids, Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, Don’t Rock The Boat and Apocalypse Wow.
Odudu, 33, said: “I am beyond chuffed that I am going to be on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing and I'm so glad I can finally tell my mum.
"Her face will be a picture, she’s going to be over the moon! I absolutely love the show and am fully committed to making the most of every second of the Strictly experience. Bring it on!”
More names will be announced ahead of the long-running BBC One series which starts next month.
Last year's series was won by comedian Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse
Earlier this week judge Shirley Ballas told ITV's Loose Women teased: "Of all panels, you have never seen such celebrities as you are going to see on this particular show."
This year's Strictly will also see four new professional dancers take to the dance floor - Dancing With The Stars Ireland's Kai Widdrington, former Let's Dance Germany professional Nikita Kuzmin, reigning South African Latin champion Cameron Lombard and winner of The Greatest Dancer Jowita Przystal.
