The BBC has announced the return of celebrity packed dance extravaganza Let's Dance For Sport Relief. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman and Steve Jones, the dance-off show will return to BBC One, with a whole host of stars eager to step in to their sparkly pumps in aid of Sport Relief. Or, at least, making us laugh as much as Robert Webb did when he did his Flashdance routine.
Famous faces from comedy, sport and television will dance their version of famous dances from the world of films, pop promos and stage shows in a bid to be crowned champion of the dance-floor by viewers.
The series will run over four Saturday nights, comprising three heats and culminate in a spectacular final dance-off ahead of 2010's big night of Sport Relief.
The celebrities will work with a team of choreographers to master their dance moves and then take to the floor in front of a live studio audience and a panel of fellow celebrities. Who gets through to the final and who wins is up to the viewers and the panel.
Claudia Winkleman said: "I have always said I would do anything Sport Relief ask me to do. I would eat tangerines for a month and I would live in a kayak. The fact they ask me to stand next to a tall handsome Welsh boy and introduce comics and actors re-creating famous dances is extremely lucky. Working on Let'sDance is the most fun a presenter can have. And that's a fact."
Steve Jones added: "Last years' Let's Dance was probably the most fun I've ever had working on a show."
The Sport Relief Weekend takes place from Friday 19 March to Sunday 21 March 2010 including a night of Sport Relief telly on BBC One and the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile events across the UK on Sunday 21 March.
Since its launch in 2002 over 1.25 million people have taken part in Sport Relief, helping to raise over £75 million.
