Strictly Come Dancing star Ricky Whittle has been charged with dangerous driving.

The 29 year old, who finished runner-up in the BBC dancing show last week, was arrested at the end of last month after he allegedly struck a photographer with his car.

The Hollyoaks actor walked into a police station in Merseyside where he was held for questioning before being bailed.

Merseyside Police said he would appear at the city's magistrates court on January 15.

The alleged incident happened after Whittle had returned to Liverpool, where Hollyoaks is filmed, and attended a party at the city's Parr Street Studios with colleagues from the Channel Four drama.
