Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly Come Dancing 2012 hits the telly later this year, and rumours about the celebrity line up are flying around!

Here’s all the latest rumours surrounding the Strictly Come Dancing line up, set to be announced in September.

Sid Owen

Eastenders star Sid Owen is being lined up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, it has been claimed.

The Sun reports that the London actor – who plays mechanic Ricky Butcher in the BBC One soap – is set to take to the dance floor this autumn.

And he’s not the only Eastenders star set to appear on Strictly, with actress Charlie Brooks being previously tipped to join the line up earlier this year.

Michelle Keegan

Soap star Michelle Keegan is also being lined up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The telly babe however has got herself involved in a tug of war between the BBC and ITV.

The Beeb want Michelle, who plays Tina McIntyre on the ITV series Coronation Street, to join the line up.

But ITV want her to stay on the soap, with plans of big storylines this autumn. Will they be able to sort out a deal in time?

Sian Williams

Former BBC Breakfast presenter Sian Williams is set to return to the channel for Strictly this year. Sian previously danced in a charity special of Strictly with Vincent in November.

Amy Williams

Bob skeleton rider Amy, who won gold in the winter Olympics back in 2010, is also set to take to the dance floor this autumn.

She’s sure to be fit enough for the challenge!

Michael Vaughan

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has also reportedly signed up for Strictly Come Dancing 2012.

According to The Sun, Michael has agreed a deal to join the show’s celebrity line up for the new series in September.

But he only signed after reassurance from pals, including footie star Robbie Savage who took part last year.

Ashleigh & Pudsey?

Britain’s Got Talent winner Ashleigh Butler could be set to appear on Strictly Come Dancing 2012.

The 17-year-old is set to split from her dancing dog Pudsey for the show, which returns to BBC One in September.

“I’d love to do Strictly. It would be nice to show people who I am,” the school girl told the Daily Star.

Noel Gallagher?

Rocker Noel Gallagher has turned down Strictly Come Dancing 2012, although bookies reckon he still might sign up!

The Oasis singer claimed he would have taken part in the BBC One series if it wasn’t for his busy schedule.

He said: “I’m flattered. I’d have done it an’ all… Sadly though, I’m a bit busy. Maybe next time…”

But bookies make the rocker 5/1 that he will sign up!

Davina McCall?

Former Big Brother telly host Davina McCall has said she’d love to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing 2012.

Davina, who now hosts Got To Dance on Sky 1 and ITV’s hit Long Lost Families, admitted she wants to take part in the BBC One dancing series

“I love the idea of the dresses, the dancing, the romance,” Davina told The Sun today.
