I don't think it affects my enjoyment of the show because in the end, it's about the 'journey', how well they dance and the relationship they build with the viewers that matters, and not much of that depends on the current status of their celebrity.”

guiser,
This may actually be the best way to start because you have zero pre-conceptions on the celebs like "Peter Andre was married to an ex-page 3 model with an awful reputation and he touts his kids, is a complete media whore and is cheese -personified - therefore I won't even watch the show now that he's on it". Or "I saw Jamelia on that Bear Grylls programme and she was so needy and whiny as well as being a right mouthy cow on Loose Women therefore I hope she goes out first.
bBy comparison, you will be judging them SOLELY on their dance ability - which is exactly what this programme is all about. Some will, sadly, never get a grip on this though...
