Add us as a preferred source on Google »Strictly Come Dancing will return to our screens this September, but viewers are already disappointed by the line-up.
Only part of this year's cast has been revealed but it's not as impressive as previous years.
There's a notable lack of major stars in this year's lineup, and one too many reality stars are making the cut.
Fans have been expressing their disappointment in the lacklustre lineup online with many admitting they never heard of a lot of the contestants at all.
One said: "This Strictly lineup so far is really giving last-minute replacements of bigger celebrities who have dropped out because of all the allegations."
"Would you call half of these celebrities?" another asked.
The current lineup includes former X Factor star Shayne Ward, Miranda actress Sarah Hadland, and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri.
Reality star Pete Wicks, comedian Chris McCausland, JLS member JB Gill and BBC Morning Live star Dr Punam Krishan have also been confirmed.
Also taking part is Go Compare singer Wynne Evans and singer Toyah Willcox.
Multiple stars were rumoured to be taking part but fans believe they've dropped out due to the ongoing Strictly scandal.
It's one of the weaker line-ups Strictly has had but there are a handful of contestants yet to be confirmed.
Viewers also need to remember that Meryl Streep, Bono, and Prince William are hardly going to take part.
Strictly has not confirmed the return date but it is believed it will air in mid-September.
