I'm as agile as a javelin and as smooth as a road grader, he says to the newspaper.

Olsson joins a group of already publicly announced celebrities such as Tommy Myllymäki, Isa Östling, Theo Haraldsson, Manoel "Junior" Marques Lerin, Mini Andén, Carolina Klüft, and Arantxa Álvarez.

At the same time, there have been rumors that Ciara Zelmerlöw, who is married to Måns Zelmerlöw, will participate. But this is something that TV4 does not want to confirm – yet.

"Those who are put to the test when the new 'Let's Dance' makes a comeback, we communicate with excitement all the time, if this is true, we cannot confirm," writes press officer Ina Kokalari in a comment.

"Let's Dance" makes a comeback on March 15 after being on hiatus for a year. The format has changed in several ways, including the fact that the orchestra has been scrapped and new, more modern dances have been introduced.

Parts of the jury are also new. Chairman Tony Irving will be joined this year by artist Eric Saade and professional dancer Taya Shawki. The new hosts are Johanna Nordström and Pär Lernström.
