Strictly Come Dancing 2016 is well underway, and we spend all week waiting for Saturday, getting ready to watch this year's celebrity contestants all looking to engage in a bit of ballroom battle.
The Strictly Come Dancing contestants have been paired with their professional Strictly dancers (Anton Du Beke AKA mum's favourite is just the boss), and with the last few years' Strictly Come Dancing winners always being something of a surprise, we're already hedging our bets as to who will claim the Strictly 2016 crown from what we know already.
Here's the facts...
When does Strictly Come Dancing start?
Strictly Come Dancing starts Saturday 3rd September at 6:50pm on BBC1.
Who are the Strictly Come Dancing contestants?
Welcome to the Strictly Come Dancing celebrity contestants. Here's who they are, and how they are doing in the competition...
Ed Balls
The first Strictly celebrity of 2016 was announced on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show this morning - former Member of Parliament Ed Balls (insert 'glitter' as and when appropriate...)
Will Young - OUT
When we heard that everyone's favourite Pop Idol Will Young wouldl be taking the Strictly dancefloor this season, we were more than a little excited. He has however quite the show citing 'personal reasons'. The shock exit comes off the back of a particularly vicious grilling from judge Len following Will's week 4 Bollywood-inspired Salsa routine. We're sad.
Laura Whitmore
The presenter was announced as the third contestant on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio1 show.

Ore Oduba
BBC Sport presenter and ex-Newsround legend Ore Oduba is making a bid for the 2016 Strictly Come Dancing Crown. He's out in Rio 2016 at the moment, so let's hope he picks up a few moves from the locals!
Melvin Odoom - OUT
KISSFM's superstar DJ and TV presenter Melvin Odoom left Strictly following Anastacia's decision to pull out of her dance off due to injury - it was left to the public vote, who decided to send Melvin home.
Louise Redknapp
The sixth Strictly contestant to be announced is the lovely Louise Redknapp. FYI, she used to be in '90s girl band Eternal, so we bet she's already got a dance game plan in place!
Danny Mac
Hollyoaks star Danny Mac is swapping the West End for the dancefloor this season, making him the seventh celebrity to join the Strictly Come Dancing line-up. Has he got the moves to win over the judges?
Daisy Lowe
When model Daisy Lowe was announced as the eighth Strictly Come Dancing contestant, we here at team InStyle got proper excited. We expect Daisy to bring some serious style game to the competition this year, plus we bet she's a bit of a secret shimmy queen.
Anastacia
Probably the most exciting Strictly Come Dancing news yet was the announcement that I'm Outta Love singer Anastacia would be joining the show, bringing back all of our noughties goals in fell swoop. Will she be rocking some statement shades on the dancefloor - let's hope so...
Claudia Fragapane
8 year-old team GB gymnast Claudia Fragapane will have to switch up the spandex this fall as it's been confirmed that she'll be the tenth celebrity joining the Strictly Come Dancing team. Fresh off the back of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Claudia will definitely have some skills in the old lift/flip area. Exciting stuff.
Greg Rutherford
Wow, another Olympian thrown into the Strictly Come Dancing mix? Hold the lights! Long jumper and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford has joined the celebrity contestants, and we're super excited to see how he handles the floor. No jumping here Greg.
Tameka Empson - OUT
Eastender Tameka — famous for playing the outrageous (and totally amazing) Kim Fox on the show — left Strictly under equally sensational circumstances.Tameka danced against Laura Whitmore this weekend, after they found themselves with the least public votes, however it was revealed that Tameka was also injured (like Anastacia) but competed in the dance off anyway.
Leslie Joseph
Oh Dorian... Birds of a Feather legend is the final celeb contestant to be joining the Strictly Come Dancing crew. Can we hope for an Anton Du Beke match-up? Please Strictly... make it happen.

Robert Rinder
Star of ITV reality show Judge Rinder will be hoping to lay down some judgement should there be 'murder on the dance floor' (sorry...) on Strictly this season. BFFs with Benedict Cumberbatch, Judge Rinder is already doing quite well in the odds...
Naga Munchetty
BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty could be an instant crowd favourite in the Strictly Come Dancing team, plus she's also a keen golfer, something that may stand well to her in the competition.
Who are the Strictly Come Dancing presenters?
Dynamic duo Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are back on Strictly duty. Expect plenty of innuendo and impromtu bum-grabbing.
Who are the Strictly Come Dancing judges?
The dream team of Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli are back with the score cards for Strictly 2016.
Who are the Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers?
The Strictly Come Dancing dancers are a mix of familiar faces and new dancers. Old favourites Anton du Beke, Brendan Cole, Joanne Clifton, Karen Clifton, Kevin Clifton, Pasha Kovalev, Natalie Lowe, Oti Mabuse, Janette Manrara, Giovanni Pernice and Aljaž Škorjanec are all returning, together with six new dancers: Ukranian champion Oksana Platero, Spanish dance professional Gorka Marquez, World Champion Katya Jones, and four-time British National Champion Neil Jones - who happens to be married to Katya.
What Are The Strictly Come Dancing Odds Looking Like?
As you'd expect, the bookies are already laying odds on who will claim the Strictly crown.
'Claudia Fragapane is definitely going to be the one to beat, but Greg Rutherford should perhaps not be underestimated, said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
With the Strictly line-up confirmed, William Hill make Claudia Fragapane their 7/2 favourite. Greg Rutherford is another team GB athlete and is currently offered at 10/1. Judge Rinder is 16/1, with Leslie Joseph 25/1.
Go Claudia!
