1 of 14

The identities of the Strictly Come Dancing 2012 contestants are now known.
Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly return to the host the celebrity dancing spectacular alongside judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell. But who are the celebrities pulling on their dancing shoes?
First off, it's Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh. She'll be on one channel while her fellow band member Cheryl Cole's on the other for the Judges' houses section of X Factor - interesting!
The 30-year-old says: "I don't want to say I don't want to win because I'd love to win. But it's going to be a really hard competition and I'm not going to put that pressure on myself."

It'll be hard to beat the likes of Harry Judd and Chelsee Healey from 2011 - but the line up looks interesting. Hope it's not a disappointment!

That's a bit unfair and presumptious to say Johnny Ball won't win Strictly, he's got as much chance as anyone else, and who's to say he's not light on his feet, with a good knowledge of dance, his daughter won a few years back....it may run in the family....and as they say.....It's not over 'til the fat lady sings !

best of luck victoria ,i'm sure she will do very well..
11/09/2012 12:26
Well you have to make a living somehow I guess......

When some of the line up have a history of being 'pro' dancers, they have the advantage over the others. So, isn't that cheating?
I thought the point of this reality, celeb promoting, type programme, was to have contestants with little ability, as dancers, and to try and improve each week.
How embarrassing it would be if Dani Harmer, Kimberly Walsh and Denise (Van) Outten, who are all trained dancers, were the first to go, but it would make it a more fair, bemusing watch, for those who really care to watch it, I suppose.
Bring back some decent Saturday night programmes, and stop all this 'celeb' trash.

Can't wait for the new show to start how I've missed my Strictly. Bring it on that's what Saturday nights are for. Good Luck to all participents.

Oh dear wot a mottley bunch on this years show (except for Victoria P)........Think I'll give it a miss
11/09/2012 09:41
might as well use her,----she's no more skilled or qualified than anyone else! lol, like a contestant will take notice of her comments???
11/09/2012 08:48
I think that is the worng write up, I'm sure that denise van Outen is best known for these achievements.
10/09/2012 22:48
Oh no not again, what a bore, i would rather "watch paint dry". Are you sure Bruce Forsyth is still alive, i am not convinsed
10/09/2012 21:53
Darcey Bussell is the only one I respect on the juding panel.. Nobody can match her 'Swan Lake'.. First off, Kim Walsh is a washed up girlie band member, Lisa Riley is a Emmers has been, Louis Smith is worth watching due to his gymnastic ability, Michael V- hasbeen, Jerry Hall- is worth a look in due to being a premier top model who used to be married to Mick Jagger, Vickie Pendleton is my firm fav to win, Fern, boring, Denise van O' she can dance quite well due to her pre-schooling, Nicky Byrne, Richard Arnold, ricky arnold, jonney ball and dani harmer...............
