"EastEnders" star Kellie Bright is the latest big name to join the new series of "Strictly Come Dancing".
The 39-year-old actress - best known for playing Linda Carter on the BBC soap - is the third celebrity confirmed for the dance floor this year, joining Jeremy Vine and Ainsley Harriott, reported Digital Spy.
"There are two main reasons I want to take part in this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'. The first is that as I will be turning 40 next year, I think it is the perfect time for a new, exciting challenge. The second reason is because if I said 'no', Linda Carter would never forgive me," Bright said.
Earlier this year, Bright picked up Best Actress and Best Dramatic Performance at the British Soap Awards for her role as Linda in "EastEnders".
"Strictly Come Dancing" will return to BBC One later this year.
