And by that I mean both pro's and celebrities.

The only two I've heard at the moment are Martine McCutcheon and Henry Winkler. I seem to remember we had a full press release that revealed the 5 celebrities taking part?

Thought it was closer to December, when we find out.

I imagine we'll find out once the special has been filmed, if we don't hear beforehand.

Ann Widdecombe on the Christmas show is an absolute must, Strictly fans will expect it, and as Ann is currently the BBC's baby I reckon thats a given.

Thankfully Anne Widdecombe is unlikely to be in the Christmas Special as there is going to be a brand new set of celebs who haven't already taken part in the regular series of SCD

Any rumours?

I have not heard a thing about any rumours. I cant remember if we heard any rumours before it was announced last year....

There is also the Female News readers doing Strictly for Children in Need this year...dont know if thats going to involve any of the male pros.

My money is on Chris de Burgh

You are joking?

Maybe it will be people who have been on ITT!

Blurghhhhhhh That could ruin Christmas for many .If he is on lets all do what he does and not watch .

I wouldn't mind Tom Ellis

Ohh Yes , now that would be a treat .

I wouldn't mind Tom Ellis either - and on the Xmas Special

This Strictly fan certainly doesn't expect it, the ghastly old bat should never be allowed anywhere near the show again!

there is bound to be an eastender actor doing it as it wouldn't take up much of their schedule to do one show.
