Put on your dancing shoes Linda fans, as Kellie Bright has been announced as the third celebrity contestant to be confirmed for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One.
“There are two main reasons I want to take part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing," Said Kellie. "The first is that as I will be turning 40 next year, I think it is the perfect time for a new, exciting challenge. The second reason is because if I said ‘no’ Linda Carter would never forgive me!”
Acting since the age of 9, Kellie has appeared in numerous film, television, radio and stage productions. Kellie’s first role was appearing on stage in Les Misérables. She went on to train at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, before landing her roles in children’s television series T-Bag and the popular television series, The Upper Hand. Since then Kellie has worked continuously in many television and theatrical roles including playing Kate on The Archers on BBC Radio 4 and as Julie in Ali G’s Indahouse.
Earlier this year, Kellie won both ‘Best Actress’ and ‘Best Dramatic Performance’ at The British Soap Awards 2015 for her performance as Linda.
