Susannah Constantine and Charles Venn are announced as the final additions to the line-up

Susannah Constantine and EastEnders star Charles Venn are the latest stars to be signed to the Strictly Come Dancing line-up, as the full list of 15 contestants has been revealed. 

On Tuesday, the news was announced with the duo being the fourteenth and fifteenth stars headed for the dancefloor - joining stars including Katie Piper, Joe Sugg and Lee Ryan in vying for the glitterball trophy.

Speaking ahead of the announcement, the What Not To Wear star said: 'I hope to prove pigs can fly (dance). Sick with nerves and jangling with excitement' 

Charles meanwhile said: 'It truly is a pleasure to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, to be associated with a show that has such a huge following excites and scares me in equal measure! 

'Dancing on Strictly is going to be quite a challenge but life’s all about testing yourself so there’s lots to look forward to, let the games begin..!'

Last week saw the likes of Katie Piper, Faye Tozer and Graeme Swann officially announced as contestants when the show returns next month.


Shortly before the big reveal of Susannah's signing, a source told The Sun: 'Susannah is the perfect signing for Strictly...

'She’s well known and popular with viewers, but she’s not an experienced dancer so she has plenty to learn. People can relate to her. 

'She’s certainly one of the names the production team were excited to get on board. Hopefully she goes down well with viewers too.'

Mother-of-three Susannah, 56, rose to fame on fashion series What Not To Wear, alongside co-host Trinny Woodall.

The makeover show saw the pair advising people how to dress appropriately for their age and figure.
