The ones written in bold are the ones that were correctly rumored.

[BigSister]

lol i laugh if nick and margaret did it

[Chrizzle]

I dont watch this, but ive heard some stuff.

Katie and Peter have been approached.
Zara Phillips has denied that she will take part.

[BigSister]

yeah i heard the katie/peter one too but ill doubt they would do it

[Princess]

I would watch it just for Alex Wotherspoon! :lovedup:

[MrGaryy]

I added Katie and Peter to the list!

[MrGaryy]

I also added footballer Teddy Sheringham!:hello:

[BigSister]

Theres always a sport star on and my mum would watch it if he was on hehe

[Tom]

I'm tempted to watch for Osbourne :dance:

[MrGaryy]

I added Ricky Whittle (Calvin off Hollyoaks) who says he's being talking to producers. I think he's quite likely because his character has a big story line coming up meaning he's already filmed it and they'll probably give his character a rest afterwards which would free him up.

[MrGaryy]

Just added Sarah Jayne-Dunn who plays Mandy in Hollyoaks. I think she's quite likely too because she only on a 6 month contract with HO which should end soon so she'll have some spare time too.

[MrGaryy]

Two more up today. Melainie Sykes and Heather Small of M People.

It's very likely to be extended though

Not if she has something better lined up . . .

[Christina]

They have such a good lineup x

[Sam!]

They always have amazing lineups.

[MrGaryy]

Added Blue singer and former I'm A Celeb contestant Anthony Costa

[BigSister]

ooh
I think it starts 1st saturday in october

[MrGaryy]

Just added model Jodie Kidd. She might very well do it, she's been trying to revive her career after the whole M&S drugs scandal and SCD iis quite a classy reality show for her to boost her status.

[MrGaryy]

Hey huys, just letting you know, Heather Small is almost a definite. some of her tour dates have been cancelled for her rehearsal and appearance commiments to Strictly Come Dancing.

[MrGaryy]

Just added Davina and Traci Bingham to the list. Traci has quite track record for reality shows so she might actually do it!

[Hugo]

Rachel Stevens has been rumoured on Heatworld, add her.

[Hugo]

From heatworld
Rachel Stevens and Teddy Sheringham to do Strictly
At the moment, Saturday nights are all about The X Factor, but soon there's going to be a tough choice to make, as Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens. The hit BBC show will kick off on 13 September, and already there are rumours flooding in as to which celebs will be donning the sequins and lycra. Former model and S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens is said to have signed up to appear, hoping that it will give her somewhat flagging career the boost it needs. An insider revealed, "Rachel has met her dance partner. She is excited and can't wait to get stuck into training. Oh dear, our boyfriend had only just forgotten she existed... Another star who swapping his football boots for his dancing shoes is former Man Utd hero Teddy Sheringham. Sportsmen have done notoriously well on the ballroom show, and BBC bosses hope that Teddy will win over the audiences. We wonder if he'll have anything to say about his ex Danielle Lloyd...? Other celebs rumoured to be taking part include chef Gary Rhodes, Katie Price and Peter Andre, Melanie Sykes, M People singer Heather Small and model Jodie Kidd. As soon as we have the official line-up, you will be the first people we tell.

[Hugo]

Gary Rhodes isn't up there either.

[MrGaryy]

The reason that Rachel and Gary aren't up there is because I had yet to find a solid source other than forum rumours.

[MrGaryy]

Okay just added and sourced Rachel Stevens and Gary Rhodes. Gary has also expressed interest in the next series of I'm A Celebrity and has done Hell's Kitchen.

[MarkWaldorf]

Rachel!!! :love:

[MrGaryy]

Ooh, Jodie Kidd is looking more likely now, it's just been confirmed she'll be in the new celeb series of Jack Osbourne's Adrenaline Junkie. She's obviously desparate for publicity and doing reality tv must be the root she want to take!:colour:

[MrGaryy]

Just added model Lisa Snowdon. She's done Britain's Next Top Model so she is definetly in the running!

Also added Jessie Wallace, Phil Daniels and Gillian Taylforth. Only one of them is is a possibility cos they'd never use three ex-EE stars!

[MrGaryy]

[MrGaryy]

Alex - BBC HATE using ex reality stars and he's had past ballroom dance experience which is against the rules

Traci - Like I said she has a storng past records of reality shows and BBC don't like that plus she's only been been mentioned on one unreliable site.:thumbs:

[MrGaryy]

Updated it with the official line up. the ones marked in bold are the ones we correctly guessed! We got 11 right!
