Phil Daniels

Some know Phil Daniels best as Jimmy in the cult film Quadrophenia, the Britpop generation knows him as the voice on Blur's Parklife, and a new breed of EastEnders fans know him simply as Kevin Wicks.

Phil isn't just a multi-talented actor, it turns out he's a sporting all-rounder too. This year he even did the London Marathon. On a slightly more bizarre note, Phil is a trained knife-thrower, and once practised his skills on Jonathan Ross!

Flavia Cacace

Italian-born Flavia first joined Strictly in series four and was last year's runner up with partner Matt Di Angelo.

Flavia and her professional partner Vincent Simone have appeared as Argentine Tango specialists on Strictly Dance Fever and Strictly Come Dancing.
