Kelly Brook comes dancing

13 September 2007 - Kelly Brook will be a contestant on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, it has been revealed.

And the glamour model is not the only beauty who will deck herself out in sequined outfits to strut her stuff on the dancefloor.

Rod Stewart's wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart, and Alesha Dixon from Mis-Teeq will also be appearing on the programme.

Penny, 36, is following in the footsteps of Stewart's ex-wife, Rachel Hunter, who took fourth place in the US version of the celebrity dance competition.

Bad Girls star Stephanie Beacham, former EastEnders' actress Laetitia Dean and Kate Garraway from GMTV are also set to appear on the show.

For those who prefer ogling men to women, good-looking male celebrities will not be hard to come by.

Footballer John Barnes, EastEnders' Matt D'Angelo, Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones, Coronation Street actor Brian Capron and Dominic Littlewood will all be competing to see who has the best moves.

A source told the Sun: "This year's show promises to be the sauciest yet. Producers have gone all out for glamour."

Kelly recently spoke about her experiences holding her breath during an underwater photo shoot in a 12-foot-deep tank, saying it was "the most frightening" experience of her life.
