But whoever Nikita is partnered with, she\u2019s excited to get started.<\/p>\n Speaking to the BBC, the radio and TV presenter revealed: \u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m going to be on Strictly. This is a dream come true. I\u2019m still pinching myself.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cI don\u2019t think it will properly sink in until I step onto the dancefloor. I can\u2019t wait to get glammed up and get out there. Throw the glitter on me!\u201d<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t appear that any new professionals will be joining the show this series, however, new faces from the 2022 series Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas will return.<\/p>\n The official line-up of professional dancers also includes popular names such as Johannes Radebe, Dianne Buswell, Gorka Marquez, Katya Jones, Graziano Di Prima and Karen Hauer.<\/p>\n
