Susannah Constantine ‘signs up for Strictly’

Susannah Constantine has signed up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘What Not to Wear’ co-host is set to don her dancing shows for the Latin and ballroom show, which starts next month, and is said to have "plenty to learn" in rehearsals.
A ‘Strictly’ source said: "Susannah is the perfect signing for ‘Strictly’.
"She’s well known and popular with viewers, but she’s not an experienced dancer so she has plenty to learn. People can relate to her."
Show bosses are said to be delighted to have landed the mum-of-three for the upcoming series.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "She’s certainly one of the names the production team were excited to get on board. Hopefully she goes down well with viewers too."
This comes after several names were confirmed for the line-up, including comedian Seann Walsh, presenter Kate Silverton, and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.
Kate – who is one of the main anchors for BBC News – said: "I’m excited to confirm that I will be swapping the newsroom for the ballroom and joining this year’s wonderful Strictly family. It’s something of a departure for a news journalist, shifting focus from the headlines to my hemlines and I suspect the only serious element of my life over the coming months will be in training hard and figuring out the foxtrot … but I am so looking forward to the fun, laughter and all the challenges ahead."
Seann added: "Having seen videos of me dancing on friends’ phones from the night before, it’s safe to say I’m petrified but also so excited. I’m really looking forward to the lifts, the Lycra and the laughs, although as Craig would probably say ‘dancing is no laughing matter dahhhhling …’"
Stacey Dooley, Dr Ranj Singh, Graeme Swann, Vick Hope, Katie Piper, Faye Tozer, Danny John-Jules and Joe Sugg have also signed up for the series.
