Wax, Clary set for 'Strictly Come Dancing'

Ruby Wax and Julian Clary have signed up to appear in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, according to The Sun today.

The huge success of the BBC ballroom show - won first time round by newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky - has prompted the corporation to rush out a second series for transmission this October.

Also "in talks" to appear in the celebrity lineup are former Hollyoaks actor Joanna Taylor and GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips, as well as Sven Goran Eriksson's ex Nancy Dell'Olio.

Bruce Forsyth will be back again to host the show. Kaplinskly will replace Tess Daly as his co-host.
