Rugby star Ben Cohen is all set to star in 'Strictly Come Dancing 2013', it has been revealed.
BBC bosses are hoping that the '2003 World Cup winner' would be the latest heartthrob of the upcoming dance series, if he flaunts his physique in revealing costumes like last year's winner, Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, the Mirror reported.
The 34-year-old player has been signed to join stars including model Abbey Clancy, pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and radio host Vanessa Feltz, for the show.
A source has revealed that the show bosses have high hopes that he would be the show's new "pin-up" and they are eager to see him on the dance floor.
Cohen however claims that he is a terrible dancer and it would be "some sight" to watch him dance.
