Olympics 2016 presenter Ore Oduba joins Strictly Come Dancing line-up
BBC Sports presenter will join the likes of Will Young and Laura Whitmore on the dance floor
ORE Oduba has been confirmed as the fourth celebrity to join Strictly Come Dancing.
The BBC presenter is currently in Rio for the 2016 Olympics but upon his return, he will be swapping his microphone for his dancing shoes as he takes to the famous BBC 1 dance floor.
After the news was announced on Strictly's official Twitter and Facebook accounts on Thursday, Ore said: "I'm still waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me I'm dreaming!
"I've been such a huge fan of the show for over a decade so to actually take to the Strictly stage myself, I don't think I've been more nervously excited - aside from on my wedding day. Let's hope for fewer tears!
"I cannot wait to get started, it's going to be so much fun."
Ore is a regular face on BBC Breakfast and is currently anchoring coverage from the Games on BBC 4 every evening.
He was previously the youngest ever anchor of CBBC's Newsround and Sportsround before going on to present a variety of BBC programmes including the Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebrations on Commonwealth Day and the London Marathon.
The star isn't afraid of setting himself big challenges though, having helped raise over £1 million for Sport Relief by travelling around the UK on a yacht in the Hell on High Seas challenge.
Ore will be joining Ed Balls, who was the first name to be announced at the start of the week, former Pop Idol winner Will Young, and Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
The former I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here...Now! host was unveiled on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw on Wednesday, and like Ore, admitted she had been a huge fan of the show for many years.
She said: "I’ve always known I’ve wanted to do it, even as a kid.
"I have watched Strictly and been obsessed with the show since series 1.
“It’s an incredible show and I feel so honoured to be asked to part of it."
