Caroline confirmed the news live on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning when she popped in for a chat with fellow Strictly contestant Scott Mills.
Caroline is one of the UK’s best known TV presenters and over the years has hosted a variety of programmes including I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of Here Now!, The Xtra Factor and Gladiators.
Caroline said: “Ever since I was a presenter on CBBC and used to see the Strictly judges walking around Television Centre I have wanted to be on the show. I am so excited to get started and I just want to get through the first dance with no mistakes... plus I really want to master my ‘dance face’!”
