Countdown's Rachel Riley has reportedly signed up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 27-year-old will take to the BBC One dancefloor alongside 14 other celebrities next month, according to the
Daily Star.
Other celebrities tipped for the show are former Coronation Street actress Natalie Gumede, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Vanessa Feltz and rugby ace Ben Cohen.
Meanwhile, EastEnders veteran Barbara Windsor explained that she turned down an offer to participate this year as she is at an age where she doesn't want to learn new skills.
It was revealed that there will be eight female and seven male celebrities competing in this series, after the announcement of this year's professional lineup.
The new series of Strictly Come Dancing launches on BBC One next month.
