And ahead of the big reveal, eagle-eyed fans have guessed that it will be Gok Wan after spotting a big clue. On Wednesday, the fashion guru had shared a cryptic message on Twitter, which read: "I have some amazing exciting news… but I can't tell you until Thursday! This is gonna do my head in!" Then, on Thursday morning ahead of the ITV daytime show, Strictly's official Twitter account tweeted: "Turn on @thismorning tomorrow to find out who is #Strictly celebrity number seven - Goats. All will be revealed.."

Is Gok Won joining Strictly?

Fans were quick to comment on the clue, with one writing: "Gok!!" while another said: "Gok did tweet that he had something to tell on Thursday and was very excited." A third added: "It's Gok, he hinted as much!" Gok has been filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during the summer holidays, but he isn’t the only This Morning host that is thought to be joining the BBC One dance show.

Mollie insisted that Ruth give her a clue, to which Ruth said: "Hips don't lie!" giving Eamonn a noticeable nudge and a side-eye.
