TOWIE star Mark Wright has announced that he will be joining the line-up on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The presenter, who is engaged to former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan, revealed the news on his Heart FM radio show and said he was looking forward to taking on the challenge.
“So… I wanted you to know first. You know I can’t dance and all that, and I’ve got absolutely no rhythm and they call me ‘Marky no moves’, well… the dancing shoes are coming out, and once and for all I’m going to learn to dance! As this year, I am taking part in Strictly Come Dancing! Laugh all you want, like my friends and family have done, I don’t care, I’m gonna do it. I love a challenge.”
Wright said that he would “love to conquer a challenge that I’m not that good at” and vowed to “put everything into it”.
“I know the only move in my locker is a caterpillar, and I know that I’m gonna look funny in sequins, but… I do like to try hard and I do like to crack new challenges. There’s a few others been announced already: Frankie from the Saturdays, Judy Murray and Simon Webbe from Blue, have all been confirmed already, so so far the guests are looking great. I know I can count on you for your support.”
