Former Team GB sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, better known to many as Nitro from Gladiators, was the first contestant announced for this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
“I'm so excited to be part of the Strictly family this series and I'm ready to give it all I've got,” said the 37-year-old. “I’ll be bringing tons of energy to light up the dance floor. Let’s hope I’m as quick picking up the routines as I am on the track.”
