Ore Oduba is taking part in Strictly Come Dancing 2016
The BBC Breakfast host is currently in Rio covering the 2016 Olympic Games, but will return when the ballroom battle commences next month.
The 29-year-old said: "I’m still waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me I’m dreaming."
Ore continued: "I’ve been such a huge fan of the show for over a decade. So, to actually take to the Strictly stage myself, I don’t think I’ve been more nervously excited - aside from on my wedding day.
"Let’s hope for fewer tears. I cannot wait to get started, it’s going to be so much fun."
The presenter is the fourth name to be revealed
