Craig is friends with Camilla and she did visit the set last year - apparently she's a fan of the show......yeah Craig was no doubt joking I doubt if the palace would allow her to take part anyway .......all I can say about any minor 'royal' thinking of taking part........remember 'It's a Royal Knockout'

Two more rumours from various forums, blog posts and comments-

US Singer Ultra Nate and Matthew Wright (although I'm sure he pops up every year!)

To be fair to Ultra Nate she has lived and worked in Europe for 20 years now so I'd guess she's more clued up on British humour than most Americans.

Well first of all what a name? and so you have heard of her and known her music before? I just hope we get nicky <3 , my matt and michael owen

Had to Google Matthew Wright, but I remember who he is now. Ultra Nate would be interesting!

I remember a few of her dance hits - well as long as she's a laugh and makes a bigger effort than Michelle Williams did then I'm ok with her being on the show

She had a big hit in the 90s called 'Free' - was played a lot in the clubs and the radio. Perhaps you were too young at the time - she's had other chart hits too though I think her career has been low key of late.

Yes- she's actually quite famous.

Recently released a duet with Michelle Williams- maybe she was recommended personally?

[sunnymeg]

Matthew Wright has said he won't do it He has a long standing back problem.

I posted about Marian Keyes earlier on in the thread - unfortunately she's been ill recently but from reading her blog thankfully she does seem to be on the mend......so I doubt that she would do it and she has said in the past she wouldn't because she'd be hopeless....... although I do hope that she'll be well enough to return to ITT......used to love her appearance on that

Not sure if it's going to be Matt and Nicky but I'm sure after Harry's & Chelsie's success last year - they'll be getting contestants to appeal to the youth audience

[jacksinclairx]

Think some younger celebs will be involved this year!

Dani Harmer - did lets dance for comic relief long standing career with CBBC
Dionne Bromfield - Sang on the show before, successful singing career, Amy Winehouse's niece and sang the 2012 official olympic song
Tom Daley - Champion Diver, maybe too busy?

A little older could be Gemma Merna - Haven't had a Hollyoaks cast member in a while, would bring in the male audience and is keen to take part in such a show as she has been spotted auditioning for DOI in the past

I have them down for a little thing I'm running in the games forum - saying that, I do doubt Tom will take part, but that we'll definitely get Kelly and one or two other Olympians.

[tallulahula]

My OH has just texted me that Michael Vaughan is rumoured FWIW.

I haven't trawled through the entire thread, so apologies if he's already been mentioned.

[21stCenturyBoy]

I'd say the possible Olympians could be Kelly Sotherton and Jonathan Edwards.

JE is on the olympic organising committee so would probably be busy with paralympics which comes after - well into September so may clash.

Also has strong christian views (at one time would not compete on a Sunday as per Eric Liddle), so might depend on other celebs in lineup - although Strictly does not tend to go for "famous for shagging someone" types.

Jonathan is now an atheist after losing his faith (shortly after losing his Songs Of Praise presenting slot ) a few years back.

*coughcough* Nancy Dell'Chocolateorangino *coughcough*

[21stCenturyBoy]

How about Jenny Eclair?

I know she's already done the Jungle but so had Tuffers and Jason Donovan.

I think now that she's left Loose Women, it'd be great to see her give dancing a whirl.

I would like a female comedian this year so I'm going for Jenny, Ruby Wax or Ronni Ancona.
