Speaking of her own impending appearance, she said: "The excitement is overwhelming. I can't stop smiling. It's been the hardest secret I have ever had to keep! The band went on to huge chart success but split up in , after which Aston went on to become a judge on Sky 1's Got to Dance. Earlier this year, he released his first EP as a solo artist. But can he win the Strictly glitterball? The year-old - who had his right leg amputated below the knee after contracting meningitis as a child - is the first celebrity hopeful to have a disability.
His appearance follows that of former Royal Marine and fellow amputee Cassidy Little, who took part in a "people's" edition of Strictly in as well as that year's Christmas show.
He said he had "never danced in my life", and joked that he had lost all co-ordination between the top half and bottom half of his body since becoming a father. Rimmer said: "I am so excited, terrified and proud to be invited Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me.
