Strictly Come Dancing has signed up two new producers from Dancing on Ice and The Voice UK.

The BBC announced today Glenn Coomber and Andrea Hamilton as co-executive producers of the ballroom dancing show's 2012 series.

Coomber has been the executive producer of ITV's Dancing on Ice for the last two years. Before that he was involved with Fame Academy, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and Hole in the Wall.

Hamilton is currently series editor on The Voice UK, BBC One's hit singing contest. She previously worked on the corporation's version of So You Think You Can Dance.

The BBC's head of in-house entertainment, Katie Taylor, said: "Glenn and Andrea's experience in big scale, live dance shows is tailor-made for Strictly and together I am sure they will be a winning formula for our ballroom."



Strictly Come Dancing, which recently confirmed Darcey Bussell as its replacement for former judge Alesha Dixon, returns for a tenth run in September.
