Rachel Stevens is lined up to compete in this years Strictly Come Dancing series and she has revealed that although she has been asked to do countless reality TV shows in the past, Strictly was the only one that appealed.

“This one appealed to me most of all. It was the only show where I’d be learning a skill,” Stevens told the Daily Star. “I’d much rather be shaping up my bum than sitting on it all the time in the jungle or in a house.”

Rachel has been partnered with Vincent Simone for the latest Strictly series which kicks off later this month.
