Fans now think they've worked out another famous face who will appear.
Welsh drag queen Tayce was the runner-up on Drag Race UK series two.
She already has a Strictly link - having won the 2024 Christmas special with pro partner Kai Widdrington.
Tayce wrote in her Instagram story: "Guess I was too much" while adding a disco ball emoji.
Taking to Reddit, fans were divided as to whether this hinted at her joining Strictly's upcoming series.
One wrote: "She's trying to throw off the scent."
Another disagreed, saying: "Idk, it sounds to me like girlie was waiting for the call, but it didn't happen."
A third said: "I would be delighted to see the fab Tayce!"
Others highlighted how Tayce's Christmas special co-star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey - aka Gladiators star Nitro - has already been announced for the series.
"Idk, I would interpret this as the opposite - she saw someone else from her Xmas special was cast and she wasn't picked, hence saying she 'guess[es] she was too much.
"I guess we'll see."
A second agreed, commenting: "It feels odd though that they'd have 2 from the same Christmas special on…"
Josh Widdicombe, Tamzin Outhwaite, Billy Monger and Vogue Williams rounded out the Christmas special line-up.
Tayce achieved a maximum score from all four of the BBC show's judges.
It comes as The One Show confirmed the three latest names to sign up for Strictly.
First up was former Love Island winner Dani Dyer, 29, who recently tied the knot with Jarrod Bowen.
Next announced was actress Alex Kingston, 62, known for her role as River Song in Doctor Round.
The third and final celebrity announced was former footballing sensation Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

BBC The One Show host rejects Celebrity Gladiators role 'I've got a mortgage to pay'
BBC The One Show host rejects Celebrity Gladiators role 'I've got a mortgage to pay' The TV star insisted she wouldn't risk injury on the thrilling BBC competition when probed by host Bradley Walsh. The One Show presenter Angellica Bell has declined an invitation to appear on Celebrity Gladiators, despite a personal request. The celebrity version of the much-loved BBC show made its debut last year, featuring Louise Minchin, Joel Dommett, Rob Becket and Ellie Taylor. This followed the revival of Gladiators by the BBC, marking the first time the series had been aired since its original run on ITV in 2000, showcasing a new group of superhumans demonstrating their speed, skill, stamina and strength. Bradley Walsh and his son Barney took over presenting duties from Ulrika Jonsson for the new series, and are set to return to the arena for its third season this year.

"You are going to be surprised, it's a brilliant show," he hinted. "They're really competitive." He then asked Celebrity Big Brother star Angellica about a potential future appearance, but she quickly insisted she would never participate, a sentiment echoed by The One Show co-host Clara Amfo.

I want to keep my teeth in check," Angellica joked. Ahead of the new celebrity edition, the participating stars expressed their anticipation and competitive spirit. Joe enthused: "Gladiators is one of the most iconic shows of all time, and I'm absolutely buzzing to be taking part. I grew up watching it, so to now step into the arena myself is going to be an incredible experience. I know it's going to be tough, but I'm ready to give it everything I've got." Rob Beckett, Joel Dommett, Ellie Taylor and Louise Minchin took part in the first Celebrity Gladiators (Image: PA) Sam chimed in: "Just when I've finished one challenge I'm onto the next, and this time I'm up against real life Gladiators! Bring it on and get me up that travelator! But on a serious note, I genuinely can't wait to take part, I'm so excited. I grew up watching the show, so to now be taking on the Gladiators in real life is really cool." Article continues below Nicola added her thoughts: "I'm absolutely buzzing to be part of the Gladiators Celebrity Special! It's such an iconic show and growing up, I loved watching the epic battles and strong personalities. Now, getting the chance to step into that arena myself, it's a whole new kind of challenge. I may be a champion in the boxing ring, but this is different. I'm ready to give it everything I've got!" And Vogue shared: "This is wild. I have loved this show since I was little and I'll be living out my childhood dream just stepping into the arena. But I can't quite process how I'll actually face these amazing Gladiators. I'm just delighted to be a contender!" The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Gladiators returns to BBC soon.
