@Source: ok.co.uk
The Strictly Come Dancing line-up has been announced and some of the stars of the upcoming series are already getting their rehearsals in. Over the past few days, the famous faces set to hit the dance floor have been revealed, including former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison, Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis, former The Apprentice star Tom Skinner, podcast host and YouTube star George Clarke, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist La Voix, former England rugby player Chris Robshaw, model and CBBC actress Ellie Goldstein, Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen, EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston, and former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. When Vicky Pattison was announced as part of the line-up on This Morning today, she admitted she was "terrified." She said: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be part of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing line-up … but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified. “I am not a natural dancer! However, it’s such an amazing opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself in a completely new way, and I just really hope I don’t make too much of a fool of myself!” Meanwhile, Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis, who is best known for playing Paul Robinson on the now-cancelled Australian show, said: “I’m very, very excited to be doing something that is completely and utterly out of my comfort zone. But also, because of that, quietly petrified.” He continued: “My gorgeous wife, wherever she is, she’s somewhere out there, Gail, is a professional dancer and she’s been trying to teach me in the most frustrating way for her, I’m sure. “Because I just keep burying my head in the sand going, ‘No, this is not happening’, she’s been giving me some good tips but that doesn’t mean I’m any good. “People are going to be sick of me by the end of the year, because not only am I going to be doing Strictly, with all that coverage, but also Neighbours is on until the end of the year, because even though we finished filming a month ago, it’s on air until December.” And it seems the new batch of contestants are not wasting any time getting their practicing in, with the show set to kick off in just a few weeks. Football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, model Ellie, drag star La Voix and actor Stefan Dennis have all been spotted entering a London studio, perfecting their moves as they await the reveal of their professional partners. However, pro dancer Gorka Marquez won't be paired with a celebrity this year due to other commitments, but will still participate in group dances. The new series is just around the corner, with the latest batch of celebs hoping to clinch the coveted Glitterball Trophy, last year taken home by Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, reports the Mirror. In July, the BBC announced two “incredible” new professional dancers, US-born Alexis Warr and Australian dancer Julian Caillon, will be joining Strictly. The popular show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in September, with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas as judges.
