Fashion model Daisy said in a statement: “I am used to being on the catwalk and campaigns of major fashion brands with lots of eyes on me but this is completely different from anything I have ever done before.
“My family and friends and I adore ‘Strictly’, so when the chance came up to take part - I jumped at it!
“I am itching to get started and am so looking forward to learning a new skill,” she added.
Daisy was discovered at the age of 15, and has since gone on to front major fashion campaigns for some of the biggest labels in the world.
She has also turned her hand to acting, starring in a number of independent films, and also released a sweet treat cookery book.

He says: 'Wouldn’t it be great to have a husband and wife team on the show? It would be fantastic. But they’d be very competitive - the arguments at home...' (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)

The former 'Coronation Street' actor has a lot of time on his hands now he's bid farewell to the cobbles - sparking speculation he's about to follow in former co-star Georgia May Foote's footsteps (or should that be footesteps?) (no it should probably be footsteps). (credit:Gareth Cattermole via Getty Images)

Soap stars have become as integral a part as 'Strictly' as body glitter and Bruno Tonioli's exaggerated hand movements, so rumours of Tameka Empson's appearance could well have a grain of truth in them. (credit:Anthony Harvey via Getty Images)

Possibly hoping to ride the wave that Vicky Pattison created with her 'I'm A Celebrity' appearance, Charlotte is now hoping she can turn things around for herself with a stint on 'Strictly'.
