"The sum of my dance experience is throwing a few shapes at a party, I've never had a dance lesson in my life. Without doubt it will be the scariest yet most exciting thing I've ever done. It will be a welcome change worrying about my next hot move instead of my next hot flush."

Alongside Langsford will be pop star Mollie King and EastEnders actor Davood Ghadami.
