Longtime viewers of the primetime ballroom competition are desperate to know who the celebrities will be dancing with.

Bosses have attempted to keep the named dance couples a secret until they are revealed on BBC One.

However, a spoiler account on the social media site Reddit has posted the apparent full line-up of stars.

This has meant that fans of Strictly Come Dancing have been able to find out before the first instalment makes its way onto the airwaves.

The account also claimed that three professional dancers have been benched by bosses.

Three regular personalities of the programme will only perform in group numbers of the show as they won’t compete for the title.

Many fans took to the comments section as they slammed bosses for the decision to take certain dancers out of the competition.

The apparent line-up was previously leaked just days ago, but this time the spoiler account made a few amendments.

This comes after The Sun revealed that pro dancer Aljaž Škorjanec, 34, is set to make a comeback for the show’s 20th anniversary.

This is despite an alleged ‘shocking’ bust-up with a female pro, leaving a cloud over his return to the show after he first departed in 2021.

Other names set to take to the dancefloor include Toyah Willcox, Dr Punam Krishan and Shayne Ward.

The likes of Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Wynne Evans, have also signed on for the 22nd series.

Jamie Borthwick, Sarah Hadland, Tom Dean MBE, Montell Douglas aka Fire, Paul Merson and Sam Quek MBE complete the line-up.

Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke will once again take their seats on the judging panel.

This comes after months of scandals for the show as fans await the results of the three-month investigation into misconduct on the show.

Actress Amanda Abbington made complaints to bosses as she labeled her former partner Giovanni Pernice as a ‘bully’ following her deprature from the show.

Graziano Di Prima was also sacked from the programme after he admitted to ‘kicking’ Zara McDermott in training.
