The BBC ballroom competition is set to return to screens in September and has a lineup including 'Loose Women' star Kaye Adams, Bros' Matt Goss and former 'Coronation Street' actress Kym Marsh, but ex Atomic Kitten singer Kerry will be watching 'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins' on Channel 4 instead.

She said: "The 'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins' line-up is one of the best I've ever seen. I know most of the people on there, which is completely different to Strictly's line-up this year - I haven't heard of any of them!"

The 41-year-old star went on to complain that the lineup was "so random" but when it comes to the Channel 4 survival show - which for this series will feature the likes of 'TOWIE alum Ferne McCann, 'EastEnders' actress Maisie Smith and javelin athlete Fatima Whitbread - she will be backing footballer Ashley Cain to win the military-style training series after he lost his eight-month old daughter Azaylia to cancer back in 2021.

Writing in her new! magazine column, she added: "It's so random. I want to see people I know! The SAS lot will do great. I'm backing Ashley Cain all the way. He's taking part in memory of his daughter Azaylia and I really hope he wins!"

Meanwhile, Kerry previously admitted that while she would "love" to take part on 'Strictly Come Dancing', she competed on ITV rival 'Dancing on Ice' back in 2011 and joked that she is "not BBC material".

She said: "I’d love to do 'Strictly', but I don’t think they’ll have me because I did 'Dancing on Ice' and I just don’t think I’m BBC material."

'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins' is set to air on Channel 4 from September 4, while 'Strictly Come Dancing' will return to BBC One on September 17.
