This year, singer Fleur East joins Janette Manrara as co-host following her time on Strictly Come Dancing 2022 where she made it all the way to the grand final.

Teamed with dancer and former Strictly professional Janette, the duo are well equipped to guide fans through all the latest news.

Speaking about Fleur joining the team, Janette revealed: "I loved watching Fleur’s journey last year and every single dance that she brought to Strictly was just absolutely incredible so I'm really excited to have her join the team. 

"She's already really engulfed herself in the whole world of Strictly so having her by my side and having her excitement and genuine love for the show and understanding for what it's all about is really special. I can't wait to get started."

Meanwhile, Fleur added: "I've got the unique viewpoint of having experienced it all myself and within the last year so it's still super fresh in my mind and I'll be able to identify with the celebs every single week. I think I'm just going to be very honest and just try to connect with them on a human level and get real emotions from their experiences."
