Ross Kemp (Host)
Born: July 21, 1964 in Barking, Essex
Best Known For: Dodging the bullets on the field of battle and for playing EastEnders' hard man Grant Mitchell.
Early-life: Ross James Kemp was born on July 21, 1964, in Barking, Essex. His mother was a hairdresser, his father a policeman. His brother Darren is a documentary producer. Kemp excelled at sports at school, but knew from an early age he wanted to be an actor after appearing as a shepherd in a nativity play. He later enrolled at the Webber Douglas Academy in London, making ends meet by working as a labourer and waiter.
Career: Kemp has rarely been out of work since graduating in 1985. His first credited TV appearance was in Emmerdale in 1986. He also appeared in a string of Kellogg's adverts and featured in such series as Birds of a Feather and London's Burning, before landing the role of Grant in EastEnders - the part that made him a household name. He left in 1999 after nine years. He then appeared in A Christmas Carol, Ultimate Force, In Defence, Hero of the Hour, A Line in the Sand, and a TV remake of Spartacus. In 2005, he featured in an episode of Extras and made a brief, but much-publicised return to EastEnders. He has also hosted a number of hard-hitting documentaries for Sky1, including the Bafta-winning Ross Kemp on Gangs.
Quote: "I never fail to get a buzz from setting off to work early in the morning and settling into that make-up chair. Mind you, I've done an awful lot of rubbish."
Trivia: He has written several books, including the novel Moving Target.
Sinitta (Contestant)
Born: October 19, 1963 in Seattle
Best Known For: Hit records in the 1980s.
Early-life: Sinitta Renet Malone was born in Seattle on October 19, 1963 to Canadian actress and singer Miquel Brown and Anthony Blackett. She trained at the Legat Ballet School before studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.
Career: Sinitta released her first single, Never Too Late, in 1983. Further singles Cruising and Feels Like the First Time were followed by the smash hit So Macho, which peaked at number two in the charts and was the biggest selling British single of 1986. Her debut self-titled album was released a year later and it included the hits Toy Boy, GTO, Cross My Broken Heart and Right Back Where We Started From. The album only peaked at number 34 and her music career soon began to fade away. Her stage credits include The Wiz, Cats, Little Shop of Horrors, Hair and Mutiny! She has worked on The X Factor as a coach and mentor since the show began in 2004. In 2010, she appeared as a contestant on Dancing on Ice, and a year later, she entered the jungle in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In early 2014, she was a celebrity contestant on Channel 4 reality series The Jump.
Quote: On her friendship with Simon Cowell: "People think I am on some sort of crazy payroll, that I have to behave in a certain way, that I am living off him. I'm not paid an allowance by Simon, he doesn't supply my lifestyle."
Trivia: In November 2013, Sinitta performed on a remake of Aha's Take On Me for Children in Need.
Una Healy (Contestant)
Ritchie Neville (Contestant)
Born: August 23, 1979 in Solihull
Best Known For: Being a member of boy band 5ive.
Early-life: Richard Neville Dobson was born in Solihull on August 23, 1979. He started singing at a young age and he sang in his school's choir. At the age of 17, he saw an advert in The Stage newspaper, asking for young male singers to audition for a new boy band. He was picked and the band was 5ive.
Career: 5ive released three albums and went on to sell more than 20 million records worldwide before splitting in 2001. They had number one singles in the UK with Keep On Movin', We Will Rock You and Let's Dance. In 2006, four of the original members of 5ive, including Neville, joined forces to work on a new album but they disbanded a year later. In 2010, he moved to Australia to work as a restaurateur, and in 2013, he and 5ive members Scott Robinson, Abz Love and Sean Conlon reunited for The Big Reunion TV show to talk about their time together in the band. In May 2013, 5ive announced details of a greatest hits tour. In early 2014, Neville was a celebrity contestant on Channel 4's reality series The Jump.
Quote: Before competing in The Jump: "Having no previous experience I've had to learn so much but I am loving it. When you're up against the likes of Sir Steve Redgrave, my biggest fear is looking soft by comparison and that is the greatest motivator."
Trivia: Neville made his acting debut in a 2004 episode of The Last Detective.
Ian 'H' Watkins (Contestant)
Born: May 08, 1976 in Llwynypia, Wales
Best Known For: Being a member of pop group Steps.
Early-life: Ian was born in Llwynypia, Wales, on May 8, 1976. From a young age, Ian was a member of the Spotlight and Parc and Dare Amateur theatre groups in Cwmparc. In 1997, after answering an ad in The Stage newspaper, he successfully auditioned for a spot in pop group Steps.
Career: Steps went on to release four studio albums and two compilations and sold more than 20 million records worldwide. After the group disbanded in 2001, Watkins released an album with Claire Richards (of Steps) before focusing on theatre work. In 2006, he made his West End debut playing the lead role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. He then trained at the Royal Academy of Music. After graduating, he toured the UK with Joseph. Since then, he has starred in Fame the Musical and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In 2007, he finished fourth on Celebrity Big Brother. Steps reunited in 2011 for a four-part Sky Living documentary. The series followed the group as they embarked on a sell-out 22-date UK tour. In August 2014, he was a participant on BBC One celebrity gymnastics contest Tumble.
Quote: 'People think they can leave a pop band and jump into a musical and you just can't do that. There's a huge discipline that's involved with your craft and your body and your voice.'
Trivia: In 2003, Watkins was voted number six on a Channel 4 poll of 100 Worst Worst Britons We Love to Hate.
