Quote:

Peter Andre is the latest celebrity to be confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing.

The 'Mysterious Girl' crooner had been rumoured for some time and the BBC has now revealed that he'll be attempting to show off his 'Insania' dance moves when the series returns this autumn.

"Strictly Come Dancing is an incredible show," Andre said. "I've always loved watching it on TV and to be honest I'm flattered to have been asked to take part before, but due to certain work commitments was unable to.

"I now feel the time is right to give it a go - everything has just clicked into place to do it this year. Wish me luck please…argh!"

Andre rose to fame in the 1990s thanks to songs such as 'Mysterious Girl' and 'Flava' and later won over viewers - and Katie Price - when he appeared on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

He recently tied the knot with new wife Emily McDonagh in Exeter.

Andre is the seventh celebrity to be confirmed for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, which will return to BBC One in September.

He'll be battling it out for the Strictly crown with Jeremy Vine, Ainsley Harriott, Kellie Bright, Georgia May Foote, Katie Derham and Carol Kirkwood while more celebrities will be announced shortly.
