Cast your minds back a couple of months, and you may recall a report that āStrictly Come Dancingā bosses had issued a blanket ban on any reality stars on this yearās line-up, with an insider claiming they were finished with low-rent celebs using the show to ācash inā.
Well, the 15 celebrities hitting the dance floor this year have now been revealed, and while itās true there are no āreality starsā on the list, the line-up hasnāt met a lot of āStrictlyā fansā expectations. We also couldnāt help but notice that one or two can already boast a few other celeb-based shows on their CVs already.
Here are the reality shows this yearās āStrictlyā stars have already taken part in...
Faye Tozer
As well as the infamous āSteps Reunionā reality show, which saw the group reforming a decade on from their tumultuous split, Faye also took part in a celebrity edition of āFour Weddingsā. It saw her compete against āBig Brotherā winner Pete Bennett, glamour model Michelle Marsh and former soap actress Carol Harrison.
Ashley Roberts
Here in the UK, Ashley made a post-PCD name for herself when she made it through to the final of āIām A Celebrityā, and three years later, she signed up for āThe Jumpā.
However, her reality TV experience isnāt just limited to being a contestant, as she previously served as a judge for two series of ITVās āDancing On Iceā.
Lee Ryan
Given the show was thought to be staying away from reality stars, Leeās name was the one we were most shocked to see on the line-up, as heās the first celebrity to ever sign up for āStrictlyā after taking part in Channel 5ās incarnation of āCelebrity Big Brotherā.
The Blue singer didnāt exactly fly under the radar on āCBBā either, getting involved in a love triangle with Casey Batchelor and Jasmine Waltz, which dominated the show. He was also one of the participants in the infamous āx-ratedā task, in which he cavorted in some leather pants and not much else.
Years before that, Lee also took part in āHellās Kitchenā, walking off earlier when he took issue with chef Marco Pierre Whiteās use of the slur āpikeyā.
Susannah Constantine
Although best known for her work with Trinny Woodall on āWhat Not To Wearā, thereās every chance youāll have seen Susannah more recently on the 2015 series of āIām A Celebrityā, where she became the first campmate to be shown the door.
Whatās more, she doesnāt appear to have been up to a great deal since TV-wise, apart from the Sport Relief special āFamously Unfitā earlier this year.
Katie Piper
Model and TV personality Katie Piper was one of the Channel 4 stars who took part in āHotel GBā, a show spread over five consecutive nights in which celebrities learned new skills related to running a hotel, with the aim of helping young unemployed people find work.
Katie served as the spa manager, with other participants including housekeeper Kim Woodburn, bar manager Gok Wan and general managers Gordon Ramsay and Mary Portas.
