Martina Hingis

The Wimbledon-winning 'Swiss Miss' Martina Hingis was one of the most electrifying and successful female tennis players of modern times. Named after the tennis legend Martina Navratilova, she was always destined for greatness.

Known for her on-court finesse and off-court frankness, she spent more than 200 weeks as World No. 1 and won a staggering five Grand Slam singles titles. Alongside her Wimbledon triumph, she notched up three Australian wins and one US Open victory. Legions of fans also saw her victorious on the doubles circuit, winning nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles.

Martina thinks her sporting experience will stand her in good-stead for the show: "I should be good with the training as I am used to working very hard for many hours to perfect my sport. Discipline is very important when training for tennis competitions and I think this will be the same when preparing for the Saturday dance."

Matthew Cutler

Matthew started dancing at the age of eight after his mother suggested he might like to go to classes. Matthew and his partner went on to become England's No 1 couple in the junior section and were undefeated champions in all the major competitions. Together they then went on to dominate the amateur section becoming World, European, UK and International Amateur Champions, to name a few.

Knowing the joys of both early defeat and winning, Matthew has been both the first out and the winner of the show, being crowned champion in 2007 with partner Alesha Dixon. He says: "My hopes are to win series seven. As a competitor I enjoy the hard work, the stress and pressure of competition. I perform better under stress!"
