Celebrity No. 9: Steve Backshall

Naturalist and presenter of Deadly 60 on CBBC, Steve Backshall, is the next celebrity lined-up for Strictly. For those old enough not to be current CBBC viewers, he was also a presenter of The Really Wild Show for four years.

He said: “My day job filming wildlife in jungles and swamps is nothing like as scary as what is ahead. I think Strictly Come Dancing is going to be my wildest challenge by far!”

He's taken on sharks, snakes, crocodiles and spiders. How will he manage against Craig Revel Horwood?
