Oi, Van Outen, that is you in a blue fringed shimmy dress, in the 'official' line up for Strictly Come Dancing is it not? So what were all the protestations on Twitter about then? Did you really think we perched on the edge of ours seats regarding whether you were participating or not? In other questions, don't you think you should be doing Tess Daly's job?
All snideness aside, Denise is a shoe in (apologies) to win given she's a West End musical star 'n all.
Her inclusion is the only 'surprise' now that the official line up has been unveiled. Everyone else mentioned yesterday is pretty much present and correct. OK, so we get Michael Vaughan (retired cricketer) as a bonus. And Ricky off EastEnders in a bolero jacket. And what appears to be a leotard. My, BBC, you are spoiling us.
