EastEnders actor James Bye is announced as the 14th celebrity in the lineup for Strictly Come Dancing 2022.

EastEnders actor James Bye has been named as the 14th celebrity in the lineup for this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

The 38-year-old, who has played Martin Fowler since 2014, will compete against the likes of Tony Adams, Ellie Simmonds and Matt Goss for the 2022 glitterball trophy.

"I'm not known for my shimmy or my twinkle toes - in fact my kids regularly laugh at my dad dancing but it's an honour to be asked and I'm going to give it my best shot," he said in a statement.

"There are some huge dance shoes to fill and it's truly exciting to follow in the footsteps of some amazing EastEnders talent. I'd love to do everyone proud."

The new series begins on BBC One next month.
