Three of the biggest names on Tuesday's leaked list of celebrities taking part in Dancing With the Stars have been confirmed, with Network 10 revealing – perhaps begrudgingly – part of their 2019 line-up.

Cassandra Thorburn, Samuel Johnson and Sir Curtly Ambrose will all be hitting the dance floor in the name of their favourite charities when the show makes its 10 debut in a few weeks' time.

Network 10 shared the news on Thursday, much earlier than expected after their hand was forced by the leak of a full list of names on radio on Tuesday morning.

Despite the network asserting the list wasn't completely accurate, Thursday's confirmation proves the biggest surprise – Cassandra Thorburn – was spoiled ahead of time.
