BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham will soon be two-stepping her way onto Strictly Come Dancing's ballroom floor.
Derham kicked off the weekend by announcing that she would be the fifth celebrity contestant on this series of Strictly.
Aside from presenting the Proms, Derham is also well known for hosting BBC Radio 3's Afternoon and the Classical BRIT Awards.
Derham said that she was excited to part of the show, describing Strictly Come Dancing as "a national treasure".
"I spend hours admiring professional musicians and performers at the Proms and BBC Radio 3, so I'm thrilled to have the chance to throw myself into an equally demanding and beautiful world," she continued.
"It will be a totally new experience for me and I can't wait to get going."
She will be competing on this year's Strictly against the likes of Ainsley Harriott, Kellie Bright, Jeremy Vine and Georgia May Foote.
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One in the autumn with presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman once again at the helm.
