Fabrice Muamba, the footballer who suffered a heart attack on the pitch during an FA Cup match, is to crown his comeback nearly dying by transferring his nifty footwork to Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder will be among the guest stars on the one-off Christmas edition of the BBC ONE show.
Muamba's addition to the show comes just weeks after he spoke of his desire to strut his stuff on the dance floor.
He said in a recent interview that he turned down ITV's Dancing On Ice, but added: "I'd do Strictly Come Dancing. I love my salsa, so I'd be well up for that."
The 24-year-old collapsed in front of 35,000 fans in a match against Spurs earlier this year when he suffered his heart problem.
The Zaire-born player, who recently married Shauna Magunda, was technically dead for 78 minutes but was brought back after repeated shocks from a defibrillator, which made his heart beat again.
