Pixie Lott has been confirmed as the 11th celebrity taking part in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Pixie confirmed the news via the official @bbcstrictly Twitter feed earlier today following a series of cryptic clues posted to her 1.65million followers on social media, which prompted a flurry of speculation from her followers.
She began by tweeting: 'Ahh, got something very special to reveal soon cats…' and followed with 'So excited! Some news is coming, can't wait to tell you! Announcement soon at 2.30pm UK time…so watch this space for news' before confirming her participation on the show.
23-year-old singer-songwriter, model and actress Pixie's first two singles went straight to number one and her debut album sold over 1.5 million copies. Pixie has gone on to make a total of three albums and has had a string of best-selling singles.
Pixie said: "I'm so excited to be doing Strictly, it's going to be a lot of fun. I always want to push myself as a performer so can't wait to learn the routines."
As a young actress she appeared in the West End production of 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' at the London Palladium and as Louisa von Trapp in BBC One's 'Celebrate the Sound of Music' before embarking on her successful music career.
Pixie joins Frankie Bridge, Judy Murray, Alison Hammond, Thom Evans, Simon Webbe, Mark Wright, Sunetra Sarker, Jake Wood, Steve Backshall and Scott Mills in this year's battle for the ballroom. Four more celebrities are still to be confirmed.
