Jamie Laing has been confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2020.
The Made In Chelsea star is returning to the series, after he was forced to drop out of the competition last year due to a leg injury.
Jamie joined the line-up this morning alongside Eastenders star Maisie Smith, comedian Bill Bailey, and presenter JJ Chalmers.

A host of other stars have already been confirmed for this year’s series – including The Wanted star Max George, Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh, BBC Radio 1’s Clara Amfo, actress Caroline Quentin, and former NFL player Jason Bell.
World champion boxer Nicola Adams has also joined the line-up, and is set to make history by being a part of the show’s first same-sex couple.
Jamie was partnered with Oti Mabuse last year, but he was forced to pull out of the competition when he injured his knee.
The reality star was subsequently replaced by Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, who went on to win the series alongside Oti.
Speaking about his return to Strictly, Jamie said: “Here we go again, hopefully this time I can last long enough so my mum can see me dance.”
“The reason I’m doing it, is to make my mum proud but all I did last year was make her even more disappointed. Let’s change that this year, can’t wait!!”
Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to BBC One this Autumn.
