For those hoping to secure tickets, the random draw is now officially open and can be found here. It will remain open until 10pm on Sunday 11 September, and all successful applications will be drawn at random. According to the BBC, as they have such a huge demand for tickets, they are restricting the number of tickets and dates that people are eligible for, meaning that you can apply for a maximum of one pair of tickets for this recording.

Other celebrities polishing off their dancing shoes for this year's series includes Two Pints Of Lager actor Will Mellor, Loose Women star Kaye Adams and Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh.
