A photo shared by ex Corrie actress Catherine Tyldesley showed the likes of Michelle Visage, David James and Anneka Rice taking a breather from finding their feet in the dance studio.
Joining them on the dance floor this year are Viscountess Emma Weymouth, Saffron Barker, Alex Scott, Chris Ramsey, Dev Griffin, James Cracknell and Emma Barton.
Will Bayley, Jamie Laing, Mike Bushell and Karim Zeroual are also on board and bidding to win the Glitterball Trophy.
The celebs are not expected to be paired up with their pros until their first show – but it seems dancers Gorka Marquez and Graziano Di Prima will not be available after being ‘demoted’ from the featured cast.
