In past years the Strictly Come Dancing contestants have been held under codenames relating to things like cheese, Shakespearean characters, and classical gods.
Now, the theme for this year’s stars is superheroes, reports HELLO!.
The publication states the names include Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Mystique, Catwoman, Hulk, Captain America and Bananaman.
There have been plenty of rumours about who will be taking part in this year’s instalment of the BBC competition.
Some of the hotly tipped stars in the mix include Alan Carr, Mrs Hinch, Radzi Chinyanganya and Natasha Hamilton.
Last year the line-up announcement was made mid-August, so fans won’t have too long to wait.
DJ Chris Evans spilled that he had “said yes” to Strictly in an appearance on The One Show last year.
However, it has since been reported that he won’t be taking part in this year’s instalment.
A source told The Mirror: “Chris had been thinking and talking about doing Strictly but in the end it won’t happen in 2019.”
There was another exciting reveal made about the show earlier in the week.
