The launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2016 is creeping ever closer.

Now that the full line-up of celebrity participants has been revealed, the show has offered fans another teaser in the form of a new trailer.

The clip sees presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman launch a glitterball drone in search of the contestants, beaming them into the studio.

Making a brief appearance in the trailer are Bird of a Feather actress Lesley Joseph, Hollyoaks’ Danny Mac, Louise Redknapp and EastEnders’ Tameka Empson.

The show is set to make a return this autumn, with a line-up of 15 celebrities competing for the Glitterball Trophy.

Taking part this year are the likes of singer Anastacia, Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane, model Daisy Lowe, politician Ed Balls, Olympic athlete Greg Rutherford, and TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
