Steve Jones and Claudia Winkleman are to present a new celebrity dance show on BBC One as part of the 'Red Nose Day' charity campaign next month.
'Let's Dance for Comic Relief' will feature celebrities recreating classic dance routines as solo dancers, couples and groups. To survive on the show, they will have to impress the judges and the public.
During the four-week series dance routines from films such as 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'High School Musical' will be recreated using pop songs such as Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time'.
Jo Wallace, Executive Editor, BBC Entertainment, said: "I'm delighted to bring what will be a brand new entertainment format to the Comic Relief portfolio. It's exciting to have Claudia and Steve on board as presenters and the celebrities' iconic dances will have BBC One viewers glued to their screens!"
