The 45-year-old actor, who has previously starred in EastEnders and Footballers' Wives, completes this year's Strictly line-up.

After being announced, he said: "It truly is a pleasure to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, to be associated with a show that has such a huge following excites and scares me in equal measure!

"Dancing on Strictly is going to be quite a challenge but life’s all about testing yourself so there’s lots to look forward to, let the games begin."

The actor, who has made cameo appearances on Miranda, sketch show Little Miss Jocelyn and movie The Dark Knight, was revealed during Tuesday's Good Morning Britain alongside What Not to Wear presenter Susannah Constantine.
