Married couple in Strictly Come Dancing line-up

17 September 2007

Sequins will fly when the first married couple take to the floor on Strictly Come Dancing.

Gabby Logan, the BBC Sport presenter, Times columnist and former international gymnast, will attempt to rumba her way past husband Kenny, a former Scotland rugby union international. The switch from sports field to dancefloor has previously proved a winner in the ballroom competition, now a top-rated programme in 25 countries. Last year 12 million viewers watched England cricketer Mark Ramprakash sashay to victory. Darren Gough, his former international colleague, triumphed in 2005.

The Logans will compete against John Barnes , the former England footballer, who admitted he needed to lose a few pounds. Karen Hardy, last year’s winning professional dancer, returns to partner actor Brian Capron, best known for his role as serial killer Richard Hillman in Coronation Street.
