‘The Only Way Is Essex’ cast member Mark Wright, tennis coach Judy Murray and pop singer Frankie Bridges will also be lacing up their dancing shoes and hoping to waltz in last year’s winner Abbey Clancy’s footsteps to snatch the glitter-ball trophy.
Meanwhile, rugby player Thom Evans, ex-‘Big Brother’ housemate and TV personality Alison Hammond and Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills have all also confirmed they’ll be taking part.
Former ‘The Xtra Factor’ host Caroline Flack and ‘TOWIE’ star James ‘Arg’ Argent are among the remaining rumoured celebrity contestants, while soap star Michelle Keegan has ruled out an appearance in ‘Strictly’ when it returns to screens later this year.
