The 36-year-old rugby player will take to the floor with Jowita Przystal for the annual festive one-off performance and he was thrilled to be asked to be part of the programme.
He said: “I’ve always enjoyed the concept of 'Strictly Come Dancing', it wasn’t something I ever thought I’d do. After addressing my own ideas and beliefs, I am very much looking forward to expressing myself through dance with no limitations.
"'Strictly' brings joy to everyone’s living rooms, being a part of that for Christmas Day will be special.”
Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan will also be on the show and has been paired with Gorka Marquez.
She said: "I am so excited to be taking part, and over Christmas too, my favourite time of the year! I am looking forward to learning some new moves and embracing the dancefloor!”
