Team GB Olympic swimmer Tom Dean has confirmed he will be taking the dancefloor on Strictly Come Dancing this Autumn. Despite Dean confirming his participation, the BBC have not formally announced the celebrities for the series.

Tom Dean said (via PA News Agency): "Naturally you want to take a break after you've had a full Olympic cycle and the opportunity arose," he said of Strictly, according to the PA news agency. I thought it would be really exciting to try something a bit different."

The nation’s favourite dance show, Strictly Come Dancing, is returning to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Autumn with another spectacular series of glitz, glamour and unforgettable performances with the brand new series promising to be extra special as Strictly turns 20!
