"My family and friends and I adore Strictly, so when the chance came up to take part - I jumped at it! I am itching to get started and am so looking forward to learning a new
skill." An Strictly insider spoke of the ways that the stunner's "edgy and cool" persona will bring something different to the programme, already tipping her to be a fan
favourite. "Daisy is a great signing - she's one of the girls of the moment,” they told the Daily Star. “She's part of that trendy young Primrose Hill set and is quite edgy
compared to a lot of those who normally sign up. “The show doesn't start for over two months but she has already started practising. She's taking it really seriously and wants to
do well. “Daisy is going to be a hot favourite right from the start. She's stunning, cool and has proved she has some moves on the dance floor," they added. Daisy is only the third
female celebrity to be officially announced, following presenter Laura Whitmore and singer Louise Redknapp. Other contestants include Ed Balls, Will Young, Ore Oduba, Melvin Odoom and Danny
Mac, with as many as a further eight still to be confirmed. _STRICTLY COME DANCING RETURNS TO BBC ONE NEXT MONTH._
