Now fans think they've worked out which professional dancers two of the famous faces will be competing with.
Among those taking part are comedian Chris McCausland and X Factor winner Shayne Ward.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Chris replied to a fan predicting he will be paired up with Lauren Oakley.
He wrote: "If it was, we'd have to do some Black Sabbeth."

Writing on social media, one fan pointed out: "Lauren's from Birmingham, like Ozzy [Osbourne]."
Many also think that Shayne will be dancing with Luba Mushtuk, who was paired with Adam Thomas last year - insisting he's too tall to team up with Nadiya Bychkova.
Sharing their reason, one person said: "I think Shayne is around the same height as Adam Thomas. So no rules would be “broken” for that pairing."
Another celeb taking part in the upcoming series is JLS singer JB Gill, who has been forced to hit back at claims he has an unfair advantage after starring in the 2012 Christmas special.
