Katie Piper has been revealed as this year’s first Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
The presenter announced the news this morning on BBC Breakfast after rumours emerged that she was joining the show.
“For me, it’s really out of my comfort zone and it’s nothing like I’ve ever done before, so I was really worried – will I be the first person to go home?” the actress told BBC.

The 34-year-old admitted that her husband thought she was joking when she told him that she was joining the series.
The activist also stated that she lacks “natural rhythm” and the whole experience is “a bit daunting.”
