Strictly Come Dancing 2018: Susannah Constantine and Charles Venn announced as final contestants

Susannah Constantine and Charles Venn have been revealed as the final contestants for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The 13th and 14th additions to this year’s line-up were announced on Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain ahead of the annual dancing show later this year.

The What Not to Wear host said she was currently “sick with nerves” but also “jangling with excitement” at the prospect of hitting the dancefloor for the first time.

“I am sick with nerves and jangling with excitement. And knowing I’m starting from a very low bar, and that’s fine because I can only improve,” she said.

When she was handed a sequinned bra as a pre-rehearsals present, she said: “If you think this is going to cover one boob…”

Paralympian Lauren Steadman was the 12th contestant confirmed on Monday night during the One Show.

The 25-year-old said she is feeling “stressed and nervous” ahead of her BBC ballroom debut which kicks off one week before the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Australia.

Steadman said the sequins are on the backburner, telling hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones: “I’ve got two things going on and I lost out on a world title last year by four seconds and this year I’m going for it.”

Blue’s Lee Ryan was confirmed earlier in the day during a surprise appearance on Loose Women.

Other names gearing up to make their debut on the BBC ballroom show include Katie Piper, Faye Tozer, Danny John-Jules, Graeme Swann, Vick Hope, Stacey Dooley, Kate Silverton, Dr Ranj Singh, Joe Sugg, Ashley Roberts and Seann Walsh.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One later this year.
