Jowita, 26, won BBC show The Greatest Dancer in 2020 - mentored by Oti - and bagged the prize of performing on Strictly Come Dancing.

She said: “This is my biggest dream come true. No words can describe how I feel right now.

"I’m still pinching myself to check if this is real but I am beyond excited to be joining the Strictly Come Dancing family and I can’t wait to give all of my heart and soul on that dance floor!”

Kai, 25, danced on Britain’s Got Talent when he was 16 and 2012, making it to the final. He's been a professional dancer on Strictly's Irish spin-off since 2018.

He said going on the show was his "childhood dream come true".

The star added: "Watching Strictly from the very first series as a young boy from Southampton and now 18 years later, to be a professional dancer on the show is the most amazing feeling and the biggest accomplishment of my career.

"I can’t wait to step onto the Strictly floor and experience the exciting times that lie ahead.”

Ukranian-born Nikita, 23, was a pro dancer on Let’s Dance, Germany’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.

He said: “I’ve always been amazed by the magic Strictly Come Dancing brings.

"No matter what country I have found myself living in, I’ve never missed a chance to watch it."

Cameron, 20, a finalist on South Africa’s Got Talent, said: "Thank you Strictly Come Dancing for this life changing opportunity.

"Not only is this a dream come true but a challenge I am accepting with both hands.  I am excited beyond imagination and looking forward to leaving my mark on the dance floor!”

Strictly Come Dancing returns for its 19th series this autumn on BBC One.
