Strictly Come Dancing is set to reveal the named of the first three stars who will join the line-up in a mass announcement tonight.
The identity of the first three mystery participants is set to be unveiled on BBC’s The One Show at 7pm.
The official BBC Strictly Instagram page also shared the good news with their 615,000 followers, saying: “It’s happening!
“Tomorrow we reveal our first THREE #Strictly celebrities of 2019!
“Tune in to @BBCTheOneShow from 7pm.”
The message was also shared on the BBC’s Twitter and Facebook pages.
The timing of the highly-anticipated announcement has sent shockwaves through the show's fanbase as the line-up is usually revealed around mid-August.
It is then followed by the red carpet launch at the end of month.
And in a fantastic twist of fate, the first names will be revealed by last year’s winner Stacey Dooley, who is currently guest hosting The One Show alongside Matt Baker.
Stacey lifted the glitterball trophy with partner Kevin Clifton, in his first victory since joining the show in 2013.
Stars tipped to be taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing include Eastenders star Emma Barton, veteran TV presenter Anneka Rice, football manager Sam Allardyce and BBC Breakfast host Mike Bushell.
Other names that have made the rounds include Radio 1 DJ Dev Griffin, Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing and even ‘Queen of Clean’ Sophie Hinchliffe.
This year’s Strictly also welcomes new judge Motsi Mabuse, who replaces Dame Darcey Bussell, and new professional dancer Nancy Xu.
