Former Maidstone MP Ann Widdecombe is in line for a sensational return to the Strictly ballroom as the BBC announce a host of stars for their Christmas Special.

This year's winter edition will have a fairytale theme with the celebrities and their expert dance partners performing festive-routines.

Other celebrities taking part in the show include TV personality Caroline Flack, JLS's Aston Merrygold and England cricket legend Michael Vaughan.

The news comes just a couple of day after Medway doctor Ranj Singh was booted off the show by the judges following a public vote.

The 71-year-old was a viewers favourite when she competed in 2010 with one of the viewer's favourite professionals - Anton Du Beke.
