Strictly Come Dancing 2013, which returns to BBC on September 07, has revealed its contestants. These include former Bond girl Fiona Fullerton and the rugby World Cup winner Ben Cohen. Other batch of contestants is a familiar mix of presenters, soap stars, sporting idols, and even a golfing legend. 

 

Viewers can look forward to watching BBC presenters Susanna Reid and Vanessa Feltz, golfer Tony Jacklin, and Rachel Riley on one of BBC’s most important entertainment show. 

 

Others who’ll take part in the show include Ashley Taylor Dawson, singer Ellis-Bextor, Hairy Biker Dave Mayers, Waterloo Road star Mark Benton, former Coronation Street actress Natalie Gumede, and former Casualty actor Patrick Robinson. 

 

Reid told BBC Breakfast that although she is really excited to be part of the show, she is worried about competing against other celebrities. 

 

She said: "When I saw them in rehearsals they already looked like pros.”

Meanwhile, Rachel Riley seems to be more excited in wearing crystals and sparkles. She said: "I like the fact I can have the sparkles and the crystals, and the glamour that I've spent my life putting on other people.”

"I'm loving the rhinestones and lace, and the crystals. I just want more and more. I'll probably look like a Christmas tree by the end of it!"
