A source told : "Joe has done extremely well for himself on YouTube and after a lot of negotiation he’s agreed to give Strictly a go.

"He thinks this will be a good launch pad to go."

Vlogger Joe has a huge YouTube fanbase and is also a filmmake and author.

The website says that his sister Zoe Sugg aka Zoella and her YouTube star boyfriend Alfie Deyes will be in the audience every week to cheer him on.

The insider added: "Zoe, Alfie and the rest of his YouTube friends are going to be there supporting him in the audience every week – even if he’s not the best dancer his fanbase is a force to be reckoned with."

The news comes after The Sun revealed Pussycat Dolls stunner Ashley Roberts, radio star Vick Hope and Steps' Faye Tozer were entering the house.

The Sun's Bizarre revealed singer Ashley, 36 — who found fame in the American pop group alongside Nicole Scherzinger, 40 — was handpicked by Beeb bosses as this series’ big sexy signing.

Ashley began dancing at the age of three, and studied modern dance during breaks from secondary school.

The band, who are rumoured to be reuniting, even started as a burlesque troupe rather than a singing act.

But the Arizona-born model is a familiar face on British telly, having co-hosted Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway for three years between 2013 and 2016.
