Footballers’ Wives actress Zoe Lucker is said to have signed up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

According to The Sun, Lucker is hoping an appearance on the show will raise her profile and boost her career.

“Zoe’s really keen to sign up for Strictly,” said a source. “Over the years she’s seen how being on the show has raised profiles of the celebrities who’ve taken part, such as Alesha Dixon and Rachel Stevens.

“She feels that she’s still only really known for her part in Footballers’ Wives, which ended more than three years ago.”
