How old is Anneka Rice? Strictly Come Dancing lineup includes TV legend

It's that time of year again when we can all pretty much wave goodbye to our social plans on a weekend as Strictly Come Dancing is back!

Yes the BBC show we'd all love to be on has returned for 2019 with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman once again at the helm.

Yes, we can hardly believe it but nearly a year has passed since Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton triumphed in the Strictly ballroom and now it's time for a host of other famous faces to go for Glitterball glory on the hit BBC show.

Strictly's lineup for this year include Chris Ramsey , David James and TV legend Anneka Rice, who has been paired up with Kevin this year.

How old is Anneka Rice?

Anneka was born in Glamorganshire on October 4, 1958, making her 61 years old.

She is of course famous for appearing on Treasure Hunt and Challenge Anneka.

Her actual name in full is Anne Lucinda Hartley Rice.

She has three children, two sons to theatre boss Nick Allott, whom she split from in 1992 and a son with TV exec Tom Gutterdidge. They separated in 1997.
