Israel’s version of Strictly Come Dancing is to feature a same-sex dancing couple, the first in 35 versions of the show around the world.
The Israeli version of the BBC dance show will feature Gili Shem Tov, a gay female TV sports personality.
She will dance with professional dancer Dorit Milman – who is straight - on the Channel 2 show, with the women sharing who takes the role of the male lead in the dance steps.
Producers said it had been Ms Tov’s decision to dance with another woman.
