Along with AJ Odudu, Robert Webb and Bake Off winners John Waite, Fletcher makes up the first four to be made official.
Tom will be attempting to make it a reality celebrity TV show Double after Wife Giovanna Fletcher won the last series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in Wales.

Fletcher Would not be the First Winner for the Band McFly
Tom Fletcher would be only the 4th Winner from the Singer/Musician category to life the Strictly title, following in the footsteps of Jay McGuiness of The Wanted, Singer/Dancer, TV Judge Alesha Dixon, and of course someone Tom will know very well, McFly Drummer Harry Judd who took the title of this very show back in 2011
Male Winners 11 - 7 Female Winners
Male Celebrities have been the first to be announced for the 19th season of Strictly Come Dancing, and whilst it is early days to be making serious bets on the predicted winner, we can consider that Male contestants have won 11 of the previous 18 shows compared with 7 for the girls.
Actors have won more Titles than any other profession
Actor and comedian Bill Bailey is the current champion of Strictly come dancing becoming the 6th winner for the profession.
Along with Kevin Fletcher, Joe McFadden, Kara Tointon, Tom Chambers and Jill Halfpenny, actors have now won more than Presenters, Singers, or Sports stars.
