The Sun exclusively revealed BBC newsreader Kate was joining the show earlier this month after bosses spent years trying to sign her up.
A source said: “Kate has been at the top of the producers’ wish list for more than a decade.
“But she has always put her career and family above everything. Now she’s polishing off her dancing shoes and can’t wait to get started. She was asked previously but was reporting on the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan so couldn’t do it.”
She confirmed The Sun's report during her appearance on The One Show and said she was delighted to get started.

Comedian Sean admitted he was nervous about putting on his dancing shoes but said he was still excited to start training.
He explained: “I normally just dance in the early hours of the morning.
“I've never done dancing like this. I think it'll be fine!”
Earlier today Chris Evans revealed on his Radio Two show that Pussycat Doll star Ashley Roberts would be joining the Strictly line-up.
