BBC

Holby City star Tom Chambers has signed up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, according to a report.

Strictly producers expect the actor, best known for his role as Dr Sam Strachan, to be one of the favourites to win the BBC One ballroom show when it returns next month.

An insider told The Mirror: "Tom will ensure temperatures among female viewers reach fever point. He is Holby's answer to ER's George Clooney."

Rachel Stevens, Jessie Wallace and Teddy Sheringham have all been linked to the programme in recent days.

Strictly's sixth series launches on September 20.
