The BBC has announced its professionals for the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing, with three new dancers in the line-up.
The three dancers making their Strictly debuts are: Dancing with the Stars' Gleb Savchenko, 2012 Italian Champion Giovanni Pernice and eight-times South African Latin American Champion Otlile Mabuse.
The female dancers returning for the new series are: Aliona Vilani, Janette Manrara, Joanne Clifton, Karen Hauer, Kristina Rihanoff, Natalie Lowe and Ola Jordan.
The returning male dancers are: Aljaž Škorjanec, Anton Du Beke, Brendan Cole, Kevin Clifton, Pasha Kovalev and Tristan MacManus.
The show's Executive Producer, Louise Rainbow, said: "We are thrilled with our pro-dancer line up this year. Not only are some of the viewers' favourites returning, but we also have some exciting new dancers joining the Strictly family.
"I think it's safe to say that this year's Strictly will be as exciting and entertaining as always."
On the departures of Iveta Lukosiute and Trent Whiddon, Rainbow said: "Iveta Lukosiute has been with us for three series and we would like to thank her for her wonderful contribution to the show and wish her the very best for the future. And huge thanks also to Trent Whiddon, who danced so beautifully with Pixie [Lott] last year."
The show returns to BBC One in the autumn.
