Jennifer, 66, said: “I think Julia managed to elude me because I couldn’t see her face and I’m not that familiar with her lower leg area which was all that was visible - I still don’t even know what Bubble Tea is.
“Dawn is far more up to date with the Who’s Who of showbiz so I’m hoping she’ll be giving me some suggestions.
“My biggest fear is not recognising the celebrity who does actually have to ’Take it off!!” I’m hoping we will work as a team.”
Dawn, 67, who will appear on the show when it airs on Boxing Day on ITV1 and ITVX, added: “Any rivalry between Jen and I on this show will not be friendly… We love each other but a competition is a competition.
