Adam Garcia has signed up to return to Got To Dance.
Garcia appeared as a judge on the first three series of the Sky1 competition and will now come back for its fifth birthday this summer.
He will join returning stars Ashley Banjo and Kimberly Wyatt, and in a new twist each of the three judges will mentor a team of six contestants throughout the series.
The iconic Roundhouse in Camden will be the new home of the auditions, while as Sky previously announced, the live shows will be stripped over a week in August and be broadcast from Earls Court with a 6,000-strong audience.
In addition, each judge will take control of a live episode - choosing music, themes, styling and choreography for their acts, and performing themselves.

However, the 45-year-old told Saturday magazine (via Now magazine) that she has no regrets about any of the shows she has fronted.
McCall explained: "I'm very much of the mind that you will front some awful rubbish and if it doesn't work out, you just dust yourself off and try again.
"I've been on telly for 20 years, and I've done some awful TV and I've done some TV that I am fiercely proud of."
Her longest-running presenting role was on Big Brother, during its ten-year stint on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2010.
