Thought I didn't know Ore, but have seen him presenting before without knowing his name.
Hardly ever seen Eastenders but know Tameka is the one who bobs her head and purses her lips a lot.
Ed Balls, know him but his face escapes me. Generic middle aged politician.

The rest very recognisable.”

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of that on the dance floor - in a good way

All of them bar Laura (never watched anything she presented and didn't even know she existed) and Danny (don't watch Hollyoaks).

Daisy, Danny,Melvin & Laura were the ones I'd not heard of, if he hadn't been doing the Olympic coverage I'd have added Ore too.

I'd heard all their names, but I didn't know what Claudia, Ore or Judge Rinder looked like and although I knew Claudia was something to do with the Olympics I would have been guessing on what sport she did. Daisy and Laura I only know from the Sidebar of Shame, I've never seen anything they've been in.

Everyone bar Danny, seen him, didn't know the detail.

I don't watch Hollyoaks or EastEnders so I didn't know either of the actors from there but I've seen all the rest in some guise or other.

Judge Rinder is going to be a hoot.

12/15 most of them apart from Danny Daisy and Melvin.

Good point!

There were some I had heard of in terms of I had seen them at some point on TV - which is what I voted yes on. There were 3 I was unaware of - Danny, Melvin and Daisy.
But would have struggled to put a name to a face on some of them - eg. Laura, Naga, Ore, Tameka - and even perhaps Anastacia.

10/15 for me - the only ones I had never heard of were Claudia, Daisy, Ed, Lesley and Melvin.

Heard of all of them except Danny Mac (I don't watch Hollyoaks).
When I saw the first couple of contestants announced, I didn't think much of it- but I think it's a surprisingly good line-up!

All of them bar Claudia as her name hadn't been rammed down our throats like some other Olympians

This is the most clear year of celebs, feels like an all star series

All of them. Danny Mac looks like the winner to me.

The ones I hadn't heard of are Claudia, Ore, Laura and Melvin. But if I was only shown photos of the celebs, I'd only be able to confidently identify Will, Judge Rinder, Tameka, Louise and Lesley.

That's exactly what I was going to post

And have to add I wouldn't have recognised them either, can honestly say never even seen a picture of any of them in my life, or heard of them.

I'd heard of everyone bar Claudia. I've never followed gymnastics so I didn't know who Louis Smith or Beth Tweddle were either until they did Strictly/Dancing on Ice.

Exactly the same, I'm not a gymnastics follower but ended up wanting Beth Tweddle to win when she did DOI

8 of them, which is good! Of the 8 I know of I like them all on paper which means plenty to cheer on! As I'm not a watcher of soaps or many reality programs so when lots of them are in Strictly I don't know them.

Remember when we all thought that Ashley bloke was the sure winner because he'd have "his fans voting for him in their thousands"?

It bodes well for Will that only one person on the forum doesn't know who he is. Assuming he can put one foot in front of the other, of course.
