“The reason I’m doing it, is to make my mum proud but all I did last year was make her even more disappointed.
“Let’s change that this year, can’t wait!!”
Jamie signed up to take part on last year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing but he was forced to pull out when he suffered an injury during the launch show.
Speaking at the time, the reality star said: “I’m absolutely devastated that I’m unable to continue in the competition…I was so excited to hit the dance floor.”
Jamie is an ambassador for the YoungMinds organisation and regularly supports children’s charity Barnardos and their work in fundraising events to help vulnerable children.
His announcement comes after Bill Bailey, 55, was confirmed to be taking part on Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
He explained he was dedicating his decision to sign up to his late mum Madrin, telling the BBC: “I hope she’ll be watching.”
Just hours later on Lorraine, it was revealed Prince Harry’s pal JJ Chalmers was the eight star to join the line-up.
He said of his decision to take part: “My whole life is defined by facing challenges. Whether it’s becoming a Royal Marine Commando, recovering from my injuries sustained in Afghanistan to competing in The Invictus Games.
“Now as a TV Presenter I’m lucky enough to witness some of the greatest sporting contests in the world.
“Strictly is a whole different ball game in respect to the challenges I will face but I’m up for an adventure and at least my mum will know where I am!”
Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One later this year.
