Michelle Visage has been confirmed as part of the lineup for Strictly 2019!
The former Ireland’s Got Talent judge has landed the new gig just weeks after it was announced that the Virgin Media Show had been cancelled after just two seasons.
Michelle, who is best known for her spot on the Rupaul’s Drag Race judging panel, came to Ireland back in 2018 for the first season of IGT, alongside fellow judges Louis Walsh, Denise Van Outen and Jason Byrne – and will be taking to the dancefloor in the UK this Autumn!
The exciting news comes as BBC continue to announce the lineup for the upcoming season, which includes Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley and social media star Saffron Barker.

Virgin Media made the announcement last month that the talent show would not be returning to our screens, leading to huge disappointment from fans.
Are you excited to see Michelle take to the dance floor?!
