Strictly stars: Pixie Lott, Frankie Bridge, Caroline Flack and Judy Murray

The Saturdays star Frankie Bridge revealed that at her recent wedding to footballer Wayne Bridge, she didn’t even want a first dance because she was so unsure of her skills on the floor. "No, we didn’t want to do a first dance," Frankie told HELLO! "We were like, ‘Oh, this is so cringey.’ We made a deal that the bridesmaids and ushers had to get up two seconds in." Joining her in trepidation is Casualty star Sunetra Sarker. "I’m kind of known for tripping up or falling over on live TV," the actress said. "But I’ve always wanted to do Strictly."

Popstar Pixie Lott says she is excited to try out a new skill after recently branching out into acting: "I love pushing myself as a performer," she says. "I did my first drama for the BBC this year so I thought it would be fun to explore this side. "Other stars in this year's season includes Alison Hammond, Caroline Flack, Jennifer Gibney, Judy Murray, Gregg Wallace, Jake Wood, Mark Wright, Scott Mills, Simon Webbe, Steve Backshall, Thom Evans and Tim Wonnacott.
