Richard Arnold confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing

Richard Arnold has confirmed he is taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Daybreak’s Entertainment Editor will follow in the footsteps of his former colleague Dan Lobb who took past last year. The official Strictly Come Dancing twitter account ‘welcomed’ him to the show which begins next week.
Another name confirmed this evening is Westlife singer Nicky Byrne who announced the news on The One Show earlier. Tracy Beaker actress Dani Harmer will also be waltzing onto the popular dancing show.
It is speculated in the press that the show has been trying to secure a top Olympian from the London 2012 Olympic games.
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on 15 September.
