Frankie Sandford has confirmed she has signed up for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 25-year-old singer announced on 'BBC Breakfast' this morning (13.08.14) that she has become the first celebrity to sign up for the upcoming 12th series of the BBC One ballroom dancing show.
Speaking on the programme, The Saturdays singer said: "I've always wanted to be a part of the show - it looks like so much fun and the costumes are just gorgeous. I can't wait to get started.
"Like so many little girls, I used to take dance lessons when I was in primary school and I really love dancing but this is going to be so different from anything I have done with The Saturdays."
A tweet on the BBC's official 'Strictly' account also confirmed the news by posting a picture of the brunette beauty.
In a message attached to the image, they wrote: "She's always brought sparkle to Saturdays so welcome @FrankieTheSats the first celebrity in our 2014 line-up! (sic)"
Frankie is not the only member of The Saturdays to have competed on 'Strictly' as her bandmate Rochelle Humes took part in a Christmas special last year and a Children In Need special in 2010.
Other stars who have been linked to the new series of the show include ex-'TOWIE' hunk Mark Wright, 'This Morning' presenter Alison Hammond, 'Monty Python' star Carol Cleveland and celebrity chef Greg Wallace.
Matt Damon has paid tribute to Robin Williams for bringing "so much joy" into his life.
The 43-year-old actor has spoken out about his relationship with his 'Good Will Hunting' co-star following the news that he took his own life at his home in California on Monday (11.08.14) after suffering from depression.
Matt said in a statement: "Robin brought so much joy into my life and I will carry that joy with me forever. He was such a beautiful man. I was lucky to know him and I will never, ever forget him."
Robin - who died from asphyxiation due to hanging - had struggled with alcohol addiction for decades and is said to have attended an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting the day before his death.
He's said to have suffered with depression and money troubles following his divorces from former wives Valerie Velardi and Marsha Garces, and Matt has also requested that Robin's widower Susan Schneider and his children Zak, Zelda and Cody be given the space they need to come to terms with their loss.
He added: "I truly hope the people in the media can find it within themselves to give his family some privacy during this horrible time."
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck - who also starred in 'Good Will Hunting' - has also paid tribute to the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star.
In a statement on his Facebook page, he wrote: "Heartbroken. Thanks chief - for your friendship and for what you gave the world. Robin had a ton of love in him. He personally did so much for so many people. He made Matt and my dreams come true. What do you owe a guy who does that? Everything. May you find peace my friend. #RobinWilliams (sic)."
Chloe Grace Moretz won't let anything "bring her down".
The 17-year-old actress can relate to her 'If I Stay' character, cellist Mia Hall, because they both found their "passion" in life at a young age and won't let anything stand in the way of their career ambitions.
She said: "One of the first things that I was able to justify and connect with on a personal level with Mia was her passion for music and how she found it at eight years old.
"I found acting when I was five years old so we both kind of had these careers that we chose ourselves to kind of follow and follow our dreams.
"We're kind of the ones that try to stay on track. We're the ones to tell ourselves to keep going and to not let anything bring you down or change you."
And the 'Kick-Ass' actress - who is rumoured to be dating Brooklyn Beckham - insisted her career will always come before her personal life.
She added to E! News: "We wouldn't give up on our one true love.
"No matter how much we love a guy or how much we love whoever else, we care the most about what we found first and what our one true love was first."
A Brittany Murphy biopic has been made.

Robin Williams' daughter has quit Twitter.
Grieving Zelda Williams was left sickened when she received abusive messages from two users, who also sent her Photoshopped pictures of her father - who took his own life on Monday (11.08.14) - supposedly after his death.
She first urged her followers to report the trolls, before announcing she was taking a break from the social media site, possibly forever.
She wrote in a tweet which she then deleted: "Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I'm shaking. I can't. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won't open it. Don't either. Please (sic)
She then wrote: "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."
The two users' accounts have now been suspended.
Following her father's shock death, 25-year-old Zelda used the social network to pay tribute to him.
She shared a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's literary classic 'The Little Prince' that reads: "You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... You - only you will have stars that can laugh."
She added: "I love you. I miss you. I'll try to keep looking up, Z."
She later released a moving statement in honour of her father, as did her half-brother Zak, 31, younger brother Cody, 22, and her mother - the actor's second wife - Marsha Garces.
Kerry Katona could miss her own hen party.
The Atomic Kitten singer - who will marry George Kay next month - has been left in agony with a shoulder injury and is in so much pain, she is concerned she will miss out on celebrating her single days overseas with female friends.
She tweeted on Monday (11.08.14): "Think I'll be the only hen to have a hen party and not be there the way this pain is carrying on!!!! Rotator cuff! (sic)".
And Kerry - who has four children from her previous marriages and three-month-old daughter Dylan-Jorge with the former rugby player - felt even worse yesterday (12.08.14) as she was also hit with a migraine, so had an early night in a bid to get rid of the crippling headache.
She tweeted: "Have had the worse migraine ever today plus this bloody shoulder! In bed getting some sleep got a big day tomorrow xxxxxx (sic)"
Luckily, the sleep seemed to do the trick, though her shoulder is still causing her problems.
She wrote this morning (13.08.14): "Good morning people, omg I feel sooo much better thank goodness!! Still in pain with my shoulder but my headache has gone!! Have a great day (sic)"
Jessie J wants to collaborate with Lady Gaga.
The 'Domino' hitmaker has revealed she wold love to have a conversation with the "far from normal" singer to get an insight into how her mind works.
Jessie told The Daily Star newspaper: "I've seen her live a few times, and every time she does the jazz solo, just her and her voice and the piano.
"I'd love to work with her just to see how she thinks. To have that much independence and confidence about being so far away from the normality of what people expect; it's very dreamy.
"It's really interesting and admirable. I'd love to just have a conversation with her and see what goes through her head."
The Brit-born singer's meeting with the US superstar seems all the more likely following her decision to move to the United States at some point in the next year and a half.
The 26-year-old singer - who is currently promoting her new single 'Bang Bang', a collaboration with popstars Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande - recently said: "I'm kind of 50/50 there and within the next kind of 18 months I'm gonna basically get a place in LA or New York."
Legendary actress Lauren Bacall has died.
The 89-year-old star reportedly died of a "massive stroke" at her home in New York on Tuesday (12.08.14).
The estate of her late husband Humphrey Bogart confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall."
A member of the late 'The Big Sleep' star's family told gossip website TMZ.com she died of a massive stroke at her home on Tuesday morning.
One of the leading ladies of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Lauren starred in a string of acclaimed movies, including 'How to Marry a Millionaire,' 'Designing Woman,' 'Key Largo' and 'The Mirror Has Two Faces,' after which she married her co-star Humphrey in 1945.
The couple, who had a son, Stephen, and a daughter, Leslie, were together until his death in 1957.
The blonde beauty later went on to date Frank Sinatra before marrying Jason Robards in 1961, with whom she had one son, Sam, before their divorce in 1969.
Lauren, who received an Honorary Academy Award for her work in 2009, recently appeared on an episode of 'Family Guy' and is rumoured to have a role in the upcoming film, 'Trouble Is My Business.'
Daniel Radcliffe considers himself to be a romantic.
The 25-year-old actor told reporters at the UK premiere of his new romantic comedy 'What If', in London's Leicester Square, that the role he plays bares some similarities to his off-screen personality.
Radcliffe - who is dating actress Erin Darke in real life - said: "I am fairly romantic, at least as my character is in the film. I've surprised people with trips to New York before and such things.
"But sometimes it backfires on me."
Despite seeing parallels between himself and his on-screen character Wallace - a medical school drop-out who falls in love with his closest friend, played by Zoe Kazan - Radcliffe says he did not change his approach to the role.
Radcliffe - who found international fame playing Harry Potter - said: "It (being a romantic lead) was great fun. But when approaching the film, I don't think I thought, 'It's this genre' so I have to act a certain way.
"You just approach it as a character. He's the closest character to me that I've played."
'What If' features Adam Driver, Mackenzie Crook and Rafe Spall, and opens in cinemas on August 20.

Britain's Prince Charles has paid tribute to "remarkable" Robin Williams.
The 65-year-old prince had met the 'Hook' star - who was found hanged on Monday (11.08.14) - several times and spoke of his "wonderfully frenetic humour" and admitted he will miss the actor's "irreplaceable contribution to life".
In a statement published on his official website, Charles said: "He was a remarkable man, whose wonderfully frenetic humour brought a special kind of laughter into people's lives.
"I greatly enjoyed meeting him on several occasions and his irreplaceable contribution to life will be greatly missed by countless people, including myself."
In November 2008, making his first UK performance for 25 years, Robin performed at a show titled 'We Are Most Amused' in aid of Charles' youth charity The Prince's Trust, and the prince, his wife Duchess Camilla, and youngest son Prince Harry all attended the gig, which also saw performances from the likes of John Cleese and Joan Rivers.
Six months later, Charles and the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star teamed up again alongside the prince's sons, Harry and Prince William, Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Pele, and the Dalai Lama, for an online film for The Prince of Wales's Rainforests Project.
