James Bye has been announced as the fourteenth celebrity to join the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.
James, who is best known for playing Martin Fowler in EastEnders, will take to the dance floor in the new series of the popular BBC programme and compete against Fleur East, Will Mellor and Matt Goss and many more for the Glitterball trophy. His appearance was announced live on Friday's stint of Good Morning Britain as Richard Arnold headed to the EastEnders set in Hertfordshire to speak to him.
"I've got big shoes to fill, haven't I?" James said as Richard asked him when he got the phone call and offer to be on the BBC series. "It was quite early days so I've known for a long time which has obviously been really hard to keep that a secret," he admitted.
