Today we are pleased to welcome Judy Murray to Strictly, the second celebrity to join our line-up for 2014. We announced the news via our official @bbcstrictly Twitter account as Judy posed with one of the iconic Strictly score paddles. Serve-en!
Judy said: “I'm a huge Strictly Come Dancing fan but a total armchair dancer. It's going to be a big challenge for me and for whoever has to dance with me but I absolutely can't wait to get started!"
Tennis coach Judy is a self-confessed Strictly fan and is best known for being mother and coach to two very high achieving tennis players; 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champion Jamie Murray.
Born in Bridge of Allan, Scotland Judy qualified as a tennis coach aged 17 and went on to become the eighth best female player in the UK.
Judy is passionate about encouraging the next generation of youngsters and has supported both her professional tennis playing sons throughout their careers.
Let us know what you think of our latest Strictly signing. Is it game set and match for Judy?
