Kiss FM DJ Tyler West is the seventh celebrity contestant confirmed for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The popular dancing show will return to BBC One for its 20th series this autumn.
Speaking about joining the show, West said: "I am SO gassed to be joining the Strictly family! As I started writing this I already got cramp. It's going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone.
"It’s a show that means so much to me and my family and I can’t wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor… with a side of sequins."
