The new season of reality show Strictly Come Dancing promises to be a glamorous one after the BBC announced models Jodie Kidd and George Clooney’s former girlfirend Lisa Snowdon will take to the dance floor next month.
The pair will be joined by the former M People frontwoman Heather Small, onetime S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens, The One Show presenter Christina Bleakley and actress Cherie Lunghi.
Featuring two more couples than in previous seasons, the female dancing contingent will be completed by former EastEnders actresses - Gillian Taylforth and Jessie Wallace.
The men include chef Gary Rhodes, rugby player Austin Healey and swimming champion Mark Foster.
Political broadcaster John Sergeant will also compete in the high-rating BBC One series, as will GMTV presenter Andrew Castle, actor Don Warrington and Holby City star Tom Chambers.
Bringing the EastEnders count to three is the former soap actor Phil Daniels.
The announcement has ended rumours that the recently-retired footballer Teddy Sheringham and glamour model Katie Price and her husband Peter Andre would compete in the show.
The programme returns on September 20, with hosts Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly remaining at the helm.
