Strictly Come Dancing 2020: First look at the glammed up Strictly celebs

DJ and TV presenter Clara Amfo has hosted lots of shows, including the Brit Awards, the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury Festival, Radio 1's Big Weekend, and The Proms - but this time she's a contestant! She's rocking a gold tasselled dress - perfect for Latin party dances.

Lets be honest, comedian Bill Bailey isn't expected to challenge the top of the leaderboard but he looks ready for action in his smart suit. Good luck, Bill!

Now we're not saying Newsround has ANY favourites in the show but we can't wait to see Olympic boxer Nicola Adams strutting her stuff on the dance floor. She's wearing a snazzy spangled black suit.

Party dresses like this aren't usually seen around Albert Square but Eastenders star Maisie Smith looks like she's ready to salsa her way around the market stalls!

Come on Jamie Laing - don't be too casual! We're dying to see the reality TV star finally get his chance to show what he's got. He had to drop out of last year's show after hurting his leg. If that wasn't enough, his replacement won! No pressure Jamie!

As a Good Morning Britain newsreader Ranvir Singh is normally dressed pretty seriously in dark suits - but she's swapped them for a blast of sequins!

No helmet, no shoulder pads - former American footballer Jason Bell is used to wearing a special outfit for the big occasions, but maybe not a see-though shirt!

Former politician Jacqui Smith used to have a very serious job in the heart of government - we'd say a performance where she emerges from the famous black door of Downing Street dressed in a spectacular gown is bound to happen!

Former Royal Marine and Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers is swapping a uniform for a jazzy purple suit for his dance floor debut.

Wanted singer Max George will be hoping to match the success of bandmate Jay McGuinness' on the show - he won the 13th series.

Actress Caroline Quentin said she got a round of applause at her local grocery store after it was announced she was taking part in Strictly Come Dancing. She's dressed to impress in a blue ballroom dress.
