Comedian Bill Bailey has been confirmed as the seventh celebrity taking part on Strictly Come Dancing.

The show's lineup is being unveiled thick and fast in the run-up to the return of the long-running show in October.

Bailey, 55, joins a group including fellow comedian Caroline Quentin, ex-NFL star Jason Bell, singer Max George, Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh, boxer Nicola Adams and Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo.

"In these are strange times we're living through, it feels right to do something different and take on a new challenge," said Bailey.

"So I am delighted to be a part of this year's unique Strictly Come Dancing. My late mum Madrin would have loved it - I hope she'll be watching."

The remaining celebs will be confirmed in the coming days.
