Dancing with: Darren Bennett
CV: Jessie is best known for her five year stint as Kat Slater in EastEnders.
Need to know: According to reports, a rivalry is already brewing between Jessie and Lisa Snowden because Jessie seems to think that Lisa is getting all the best costumes. Oh dear.

Winning potential: Good.
