Rachel Stevens has signed up for the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

The S Club 7 star will join fellow celebrities from the latest series of the BBC One ballroom dance contest following the announcement of Frankie Bridge pulling out, due to being pregnant with husband Wayne Bridge.

Rachel is to dance with Frankie's dance partner Kevin Clifton during the tour.

Speaking of the announcement, Rachel said: "I'm really happy for Frankie and Wayne - it's great news to start the New Year with! I know she's disappointed not to be doing the tour - I was supporting Team Frankie during the show and she was fantastic, but I'm happy to be able to step in for her."

Despite having a busy year ahead following the reunion of S Club 7 and their tour announcement, Rachel couldn't resist getting back on the dancefloor.

"It's no secret that I loved my time in Strictly and that I'm a big fan of the dances so I'm excited to be back and to get my dancing shoes on again. Today [09.01.15], I'm straight into rehearsals learning the routines and meeting the guys and next week we'll be on tour seeing fans across the country - I can't wait!"

The brunette beauty will join 2014 champion Caroline Flack, finalists Simon Webbe and Mark Wright and contestants Scott Mills, Alison Hammond and Thom Evans on the tour hosted by spin-off show 'It Takes Two' presenter Zoe Ball.
