The sparkle, spotlight and sequins of Strictly Come Dancing will feature three Jewish celebrities this year, with Lesley Joseph, Robert Rinder and Daisy Lowe due to take part in the show.

The contestants will be hoping to follow in the dance steps of Natasha Kaplinsky, the TV presenter who won the first series of the BBC programme in 2004.

Ms Joseph, best-known for her role as man-eating neighbour Dorien Green in the sitcom Birds of Feather, will be the oldest ever female Strictly entrant.

The 70-year-old mother-of-two, who has also starred in the West End musicals Annie and Calendar Girls, said Strictly was "an iconic show".
