Celebrity No. 1: Mollie King

Time to get on board the merry-go-round again! Celebrity announcements are go!

The first celebrity for Strictly Come Dancing 2017 has been announced as Mollie King from girl group The Saturdays.

The news was announced by Nick Grimshaw just after 8am this morning, and Mollie joined him to talk about being a part of the show, telling him she's looking forward to spray tans and wearing pink, and hopes that Craig isn't too mean. She did make a point of saying that she didn't go to stage school. 

I'm sure Mollie will be great. She's musical which is a great starting point, and although that doesn't necessarily translate to fluidity of movement, most music stars have done well. The only music performer to be eliminated first was Goldie, and it's not like he was from a boyband.

Can she get as far as her bandmate from The Saturdays, Frankie Bridge, who was a runner-up in 2014 with Kevin 'Always The Bridesmaid' Clifton?
