Celebrities revealed for Strictly Come Dancing special
It's in aid of Sport Relief
Last updated 8th Mar 2018
The 2018 series of popular dancing show Strictly Come Dancing might be a while away yet, but fans are being treated to a very special one-off in aid of Sport Relief.
The show, which is due to air on Friday 23rd March, will include three sports stars, including former England Ladies footballer Alex Scott, David Ginola and football pundit Chris Kamara.
Despite all three celebrities having a very competitive nature, David will perhaps have a slight advantage as he took part in the French version of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2011.

Alex Scott
33-year-old Alex is a former Arsenal and England Ladies footballer. Alex made 140 appearances for England and also represented Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics.
Whilst Alex and David are more famous for their antics on the football pitch, 60-year-old Chris has gained a huge fan following for his hilarious commentary of the game.
He also presents ITV show Ninja Warrior with Rochelle Humes and Ben Shephard.
When the show airs, all three celebrities will be performing to the 1989 classic football song 'World In Motion' by New Order.
Very fitting!
At the time of publication, it hasn't yet been revealed which professional dancers will partner up with the celebrities, but popular hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are set to present the special episode.
In other Strictly Come Dancing news, bosses are reportedly keen to sign former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan.
According to reports, Strictly bosses are lining up a 'record amount' to sign the actress with a source telling the Daily Star, "Everyone knows that having Michelle Keegan out on the Strictly dance floor would be ratings gold."
They then added, “Everyone behind the scenes thinks she would set the dance floor alight. It’s now a matter of convincing her to sign up."
The Strictly Come Dancing Sport Relief special is set to air on Friday 23rd March.
