JJ Chalmers features in the pictures wearing a shiny lilac blazer over a blue shirt with glitter detail on the collar.
The presenter and Invictus Games medallist, from Scotland, is a pal of Prince Harry.
Max George cuts a causal, confident figure as he shows off his toned arms in a dark, short-sleeved shirt open at the collar.
Max, who was in the boyband The Wanted, is from Manchester. He previously dated ex Our Girl actress Michelle Keegan.
EastEnders star Maisie Smith, 19, wears a bright blue tasseled dress for her official Strictly photo.
She’s been working out hard in preparation for the show. Last month, she showed off her incredible abs during a workout, posting pictures for her followers on Instagram.
Former American football player Jason Bell smiles as he displays his tattooed arms in a dark shirt and trouser combo.
He was a star of the US football league, the NFL. Jason also dated Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle. The pair share a daughter, Anaíya.
Ranvir Singh could be this year’s ‘dark horse’
Presenter Ranvir Singh stands with a hand on her waist in a varicoloured, figure-hugging garment.
The daytime TV star will be a ‘dark horse’ among this year’s contestants, according to her GMB co-star Adil Ray.
Actress Caroline Quentin looks confident as she poses in a glittery blue dress with a petal-shaped ruffles on the shoulders.
Caroline shot to fame on Men Behaving Badly. More recently, she’s appeared in ITV’s Doc Martin.
Jamie Laing looks as though he feels so happy to be on this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing. He had to pull out last year due to an injury.
In his photo, the Made in Chelsea star stands with his hands in his pockets and wears a pink blazer with dark lapels over a matching waistcoat.
The BBC did not release an official picture of singer HRVY, the 12th contestant, who tested positive for coronavirus earlier this month.
When does Strictly start and how will it be different?
Strictly Come Dancing will launch on October 17th, with the first of the live shows following on the 24th.
It will be different this year with social distancing measures in place. The group dances are all pre-recorded, and the celebs will speak to Claudia Winkleman just one at a time in the host’s area, instead of congregating there en masse.

Another change is the judges’ bench. This year, it will be replaced with three socially distanced tables.
There will be a Strictly audience, although members will be socially distanced, meaning it will be smaller than in previous series.
