Former home secretary Jacqui Smith and YouTube star HRVY are reportedly due to be unveiled as the final two contestants on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
The BBC has already revealed the first 10 famous faces in the lineup, with the likes of boxer Nicola Adams, EastEnders actress Maisie Smith, comedian Caroline Quentin and Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo among those to have signed up.
According to The Sun, Smith and HRVY are the final two pieces of the puzzle and are expected to be announced by the end of the month.
Smith, 57, became the first female home secretary in 2007 and held the role for two years before quitting frontline politics after losing her seat at the 2010 general election.
HRVY, meanwhile, is a 21-year-old aspiring singer and YouTube sensation, with more than half a billion views on his content to date.
A source told the newspaper: "HRVY brings a massive youth audience, which the BBC craves. Historically these slightly lesser known stars have done well on the show - just look at Joe Sugg and Saffron Barker. If he can dance, he'll go far in the competition for sure."
The new series is due to begin at the end of October on BBC One.
