The Strictly 2023 line-up is starting to take shape with the first six celebrities already confirmed for the brand new series.
At the time of writing, Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Eddie Kadi and Angela Scanlon have been announced as part of the 2023 Strictly stars.
Despite having some acting talent, a comedy star and the show’s oldest ever contestant, some fans aren’t happy so far.

Taking to Twitter recently, one fan fumed: “Frees up my Saturday nights I suppose. This is shaping up to be the worst line-up ever.”
Another wrote: “#Strictly I see the barrel has been scraped yet again.”
Meanwhile, someone else tweeted: “The BBC needs to look at their core audience. Scraping the barrel.”
Another said: “Come on. Proper scraping the barrel. Who are these nobodies?”
However, of course, there are plenty of die-hard Strictly fans very much looking forward to the new series. One gushed: “So happy @bbcstrictly is back I watch every series since series 1.”
Another said: “FINALLY @bbcstrictly is back!! Super excited for it!”
This is shaping up to be the worst line-up ever.

In a statement, Angela admitted she feels “terrified” about getting on the dance floor. She said: “I’m terrified, I’m excited and I have so many questions. Will they make me tan? How itchy are sequins?! Do they do flesh coloured sports bras?
“Well – there’s only one way to find out, right!? Now I’m panicking a bit… but also secretly thrilled about the prospect of all that glitter. Let’s go!”
