The line-up was announced on US breakfast show Good Morning America, where Brown said: “I want the sequins, I want the moves, I want it all.”
Brinkley said she does not think her current role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway will give her an advantage.
She said: “No, not at all. I think of the real dancers like they could knock their own teeth out with their knee.
“I can barely get my leg up and, believe me, what I learned in Chicago doing the honey rag, you cannot dance to Beyonce doing the honey rag, so I need some moves.”

Spicer, who resigned as President Donald Trump’s press secretary in July 2017, said : “I was kicked out of band in sixth grade and the quote was ‘You have the sense of beat of a steamroller’.”
The new series of Dancing With The Stars will begin on US network ABC on September 16.
