More information from The Sun:

COR blimey guv’nor, Saturday nights are going all Cockney as THREE ex-EastEnders join Strictly Come Dancing.

The Beeb have nabbed Jessie Wallace, Gillian Taylforth and Phil Daniels for the new series.

Last night, a Beeb source said: “Jessie is a brilliant coup - she’s a born actress and you can just see her attacking the tango. You can imagine how mischievous she will be.”

The 36-year-old played hellraiser Kat Slater until 2005 — but she is also known for her disastrous OFF-screen relationship with policeman Dave Morgan, the father of her three-year-old daughter Tallulah.

Gillian, 53, played downtrodden Kathy Beale in the BBC1 soap and then had a role in ITV1’s Footballers’ Wives.

Phil, 49, who starred in cult flick Quadrophenia, was killed off as Kevin Wicks in a car smash last year.

The Walford three will be strutting their stuff alongside singer Rachel Stevens, chef Gary Rhodes and former England Rugby Union star Austin Healey.

Also in the show — which returns on September 13 — will be actress Cherie Lunghi, currently playing the madam in ITV2 series Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.

Polo-playing model Jodie Kidd and soccer ace Teddy Sheringham have also signed up, as has Lisa Snowdon — who has already nabbed Strictly womaniser Brendan Cole as a partner.
