Strictly Come Dancing gets former Wham! musician for new series, according to a report.

Andrew Ridgeley has signed up for Strictly Come Dancing, according to a report.

The 80s heartthrob, who is best known for his part in iconic 80s duo Wham! alongside George Michael, will reportedly appear on the new series alongside the likes of Jamelia and Michelle Heaton.

Ridgeley told The Sun: "I've been asked once or twice and it's one of the very few things that might tempt me back into the public eye."

"It's a fabulous show and I imagine a wonderful experience. I my less lucid moments I fancy giving it a go."

This follows the news that George and Andrew could be set for a long-awaited reunion for the band's 30th anniversary.

Documentary makers are keen to get George back with Andrew Ridgeley and backing singers Shirley Holliman, 53, and Pepsi DeMacque, 56.

The film would mark 30 years since the band’s last emotional gig at Wembley Stadium in June 1986.

The heart-throbs, both now 52, enjoyed a string of hits together in the mid 80s, including Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Last Christmas and I’m Your Man.
