Katie Price is set to put her relationship woes behind her by strutting her stuff on TV show Let's Dance For Comic Relief.

The former glamour model, who is going through a public divorce battle with cagefighter Alex Reid, joins other newly announced names Marcus Brigstocke, ex-EastEnder Joe Swash and Waterloo Road actor Philip Martin Brown in the BBC1 show, in which stars tackle famous dance routines.

The charity dance spectacular, which returns for a third time this month, is being hosted by One Show presenter Alex Jones and her former flame Steve Jones.

Previously announced names for this year's series include The Mighty Boosh comic Noel Fielding, Lulu and ex-GMTV host Penny Smith.

Over three weeks, Let's Dance will see the acts pay homage to and perform some of the world's most famous dance routines in front of a live studio audience.

The stars will battle it out to wow viewers with their moves, and secure a place in the grand final.

Each act - a mix of solo dancers, duos and groups - will work with a team of choreographers to master the dance moves from famous routines such as Beyonce's Crazy In Love and Michael Jackson's Bad.

This year's Let's Dance, which kicks off on February 19, will highlight the issue of malaria.

Jo Wallace, BBC executive producer, said: "We're so excited to announce these latest names, they add to an already fantastic line-up and this year's show is shaping up to be a fun-packed, high-energy event, all in the name of charity."
