TV chef Simon Rimmer set to salsa on Strictly

TV CHEF Simon Rimmer can’t wait to turn up the heat on Strictly Come Dancing after being named as the seventh star to join this year’s line-up.

‘I am so excited, terrified and proud. I’ve always been a HUUUGE fan,’ the Sunday Brunch star, said after revealing he is to swap the kitchen for the dancefloor.

Simon, 54, said: ‘It will genuinely be my very first time dancing ballroom and Latin. Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me.’

And he is looking forward to his makeover. ‘Bring on the sequins and spray tans,’ he tweeted yesterday. The 15th series starts next month.
