Strictly Come Dancing: Lesley Joseph ‘Joins The Line-Up’

Lesley Joseph has become the latest celebrity to be linked to the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, joining an already incredible list of names rumoured to be trying to waltz their way to that glitterball trophy.

We really hope these latest rumours are true.

If she does put on her ballroom shoes, the Birds of a Feather actress, 70, will be the oldest female contestant to appear on the dancing show.

It’s thought that bosses have wanted Lesley to sign up for a really long time, and now, their wish has been granted.

A source told The Sun: “Strictly bosses have wanted Lesley for years. She is determined not to just be the token older contestant.”

We would LOVE to see Lesley on the show.

The list of stars rumoured to be signing up for the BBC show is longer than our arms, with Laura Whitmore, Anastacia, Judge Rinder, Louise Redknapp, Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Langsford, Will Young, Daisy Lowe and many more all potentially taking part.

Three new professional dancers will be joining too - World Latin showdance champion Katya Jones, Latin dancer Gorka Marquez and Dancing With The Stars pro Oksana Platero.

Gleb Savchenko, Kristina Rihanoff, Ola Jordan, Aliona Vilani and Tristan MacManus have all left the show.
