Sugden and Lennard reportedly dated Portuguese football ace Ronaldo at the same time during his stint at Manchester United.

Nolan is close friends with Kay's wife Tess Daly.
Celebrities rumoured to be taking part include Duane Chapman aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, former EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison, Sex, Lies and Rinsing Guys documentary star Danica Thrall, So Solid Crew's MC Harvey, comic Julian Clary and Corrie icon Julie Goodyear.
