Sporty Spice Mel C is set to bring a workout-themed performance to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, complete with skipping ropes and a disco-ball exercise bike.

The 53-year-old singer, whose full name is Melanie Chisholm , will perform her track “Sweat” during Sunday night’s results show, joined by the BBC dance competition’s professional dancers.

Wearing a pink exercise top and blue shorts, Mel C will be lifted into the air as part of the high-energy routine, which also features the professionals dancing to Spacedust’s “Gym And Tonic” and Meghan Trainor’s “Shimmer”.

The show will also feature the UK television debut of Jamie Miller’s viral hit “Babydoll”, featuring Off Campus star Antonio Cipriano, who will perform the song’s popular dance alongside four of the professional dancers.

Mel C’s performance comes just weeks after she said she was asked to compete on the show “every year”.
