Fans have been loving the cast of Strictly Come Dancing this year, and on Friday, the BBC announced that celebrity stylist Chris Appleton would be the fourth star competing in this year's show.
Chris is a stylist to the stars and has worked with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Sofia Vergara. The star has previously been named as a 'Hair Star' by Vogue UK, and he recently released his first memoir, Your Roots Don’t Define You.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Strictly Come Dancing and coming home to the UK for this incredible experience," Chris said about joining the show. "I've always believed that the best things happen when you take a chance and try something new. I may know my way around a salon floor, but the dance floor is a whole different story - and I can’t wait to get started."
Reacting to the news, one fan on social media enthused: "This is going to be epic," while a second posted: "This line up keeps getting stronger and stronger," and a third added: "Oh, this is so iconic."

Speaking about joining the show, Delta, who recently represented Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest, said: "I've been incredibly honoured to perform on many different stages throughout my career – from TV, theatre, film sets, to touring my own shows around the world, there is however one stage I've never stepped onto and that is the ballroom floor! I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Strictly and can't wait to get started!"
Upcoming Strictly series
Strictly is going to be incredibly different when the show returns to our screens in the autumn, with three new hosts joining the show following the departure of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman at the end of last season.
In May, it was confirmed that Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe would be taking over from the iconic duo. The trio were confirmed when Strictly's Instagram shared a video of Emma being joined by Johannes, with Josh teaming up with the pair afterwards.
Speaking about joining the show, Emma said: "It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Strictly – I've cheered and danced along from my sofa for years - so to be stepping into the Strictly ballroom is something I can't quite comprehend. It's impossible to fill the shoes that Tess and Claudia have left behind – two wonderful, iconic women who have been the beating heart of Strictly for so long.
"I can only hope that we are able to help to steer the ship as beautifully as they have, into this new chapter. I can't wait to spend my weekends with Josh and Jojo, the incredible dancers and the judges. Fingers crossed for a 10 from them!"
