Mark Wright brings Essex-appeal to Strictly line-up

Strictly Come Dancing bosses hope former TOWIE star Mark Wright will bring some Essex-appeal to the show as he becomes the sixth celebrity contestant to be unveiled.

"Doing Strictly is going to be so completely different from anything I've done before," Wright said.

"I'm the sort of guy who loves to bust out some moves at a party but I'm certainly not a natural dancer," the I'm A Celebrity runner-up said.

"Any of my friends would tell you that - they call me 'Markey no-moves'! I'm genuinely petrified about dancing on national telly but Strictly is such an amazing show to be a part of and I can't wait to get stuck in and give it my all."
