Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman is to whip up a dancefloor frenzy with a six-hour stint of frantic footwork for Comic Relief.
She will be the host of the first Comic Relief Danceathon, taking place at London's SSE Arena at Wembley, with other events being staged at locations across the country.
Other celebrities who will be involved by taking a slot on the dancefloor in the non-stop extravaganza at Wembley include former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips, past contestants Chelsee Healey and Rachel Riley, together with It Takes Two presenter Zoe Ball.
Radio presenter Jo Whiley, comic Rufus Hound and Got to Dance's Adam Garcia and Kimberly Wyatt will also be involved.
More than 2,000 people will be dancing without a break at the flagship event, with the dance style changing every 30 minutes, ranging from jive to disco, street dance to Latin moves in an effort to boost moneymaking efforts for Red Nose Day.
Winkleman said: "This just might be the greatest day of our lives. Wherever you live in the UK, if you like dancing, we'd love you to take part in the Comic Relief Danceathon. I am ridiculously excited."
More details about the event will be at www.rednoseday.com/danceathon.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
