RTE’s Eoghan McDermott,  journalist Charlie Bird, model Vivienne Connolly, ex-Mr World Kamal Ibrahim and TV3’s Sinead Desmond will get their dancing shoes on to raise money for Breast Cancer Ireland.
The show will be hosted by Westlife’s Nicky Byrne – with all the celebrities vowing to try and get first place.

Each of the stars have been matched with volunteer supporters of Breast Cancer Ireland, some of whom are survivors.
And they will spend the next two months being put through a rigorous regime of dance classes by a team of professional choreographers.

However, 2FM star Eoghan McDermott admitted that he isn’t planning too much practice.
“I’ve never done any partner dancing, but after I did my degree in UCD I moved to New York where I was in a dance college,” he said.
“Rehearsals are the opposite of intense – it’s only about half-an-hour a week. Caroline Flack is doing Strictly Come Dancing in the UK at the moment.

“And she was saying that they’re training for seven hours a day, so it’s definitely not on that scale.”
Judges on the night will include Dragons’ Den’s Barry O’Sullivan and rugby commentator Brent Pope.
