Let's Dance (for Sports and Comic Relief)

JP Liz V1

Due to popular demand, Let’s Dance for Sport Relief is soon to be returning to our TV screens and amongst the many famous faces to be donning their dancing shoes are Katy Brand, Rufus Hound, Shappi Khorsandi, Jenny Éclair, Linda Robson, Lesley Joseph and Susie Blake.

Also taking to the dance floor will be sporting greats such as footballers Peter Shilton and Rodney Marsh and snooker legends Willie Thorne and Dennis Taylor.

The show will see some of the nation's favourite celebrities pay homage to iconic dance routines in a bid to be crowned champion of the dance floor. They will work with a team of top choreographers to master the moves and with a team of stylists to represent their dance icon's look.

This year’s contestants will be judged by a new and exciting panel - predominantly featuring faces from the world of comedy and celebrities who performed last year. Comedians confirmed so far are Jack Dee and Frank Skinner.

Claudia Winkleman and Steve Jones return to host the show which kicks off Saturday 20th February on BBC One. The series will run over four weeks, culminating in a spectacular final dance off on Saturday 13th March.

Who goes through and who gets a chance to compete in the final will be down to the public and the panel. Proceeds from the voting will go to Sport Relief.

Comedian Robert Webb was crowned champion last year, when he wowed the public and judges in last year’s grand final with his spectacular rendition of Flashdance: What A Feeling. So tune in to see who’s got what it takes to strut their stuff and take the Let’s Dance trophy this time round.

Its starts back Feb 20th on BBC 1

Former glamour model Katie Price will throw on a sassy leotard as she gets set to take part in Let's Dance for the BBC1 programme.
After her bitter – and very public – split from husband Alex Reid last month, the 32-year-old is likely to be using the show to try and get people back on her side as celebrities pit against each other to win public votes and stay in the competition.
Price will be joined by a not-exactly-A-list line-up including ex-GMTV presenter Penny Smith, former EastEnders star Joe Swash, comedian Marcus Brigstocke, Waterloo Road actor Philip Martin Brown and 60s singer Lulu.
The celebrities will learn dance moves from a team of choreographers before performing their routines to a live studio audience over three weeks, starting February 19, before Comic Relief airs on March 18.
The charity dance off will be hosted by One Show presenter Alex Jones and her former lover Steve Jones and all proceeds from the show will go to a malaria charity.
