Sophie Ellis-Bextor's doing Strictly Come Dancing

Paso doble enthu­si­ast Sophie Ellis-Bextor has joined the lineup for this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

The 'Off & On' hitmaker will line up alongside the likes of Vanessa Feltz, Countdown's Rachel Riley and former rugby player Ben Cohen on the BBC show, which starts this Saturday.

If only she had some sort of dance­floor-based hit that could be crow­barred into every headline from now until she wins the whole thing.
