Red Dwarf's Cat Danny John-Jules has joined the line-up for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The born-and-bred Londoner has been a mainstay on our televisions for decades, best known for his portrayal of the Cat in Red Dwarf. He then jumped (space)ship from sci-fi to detective drama, starring in the highly successful BBC series Death in Paradise from 2011.

Off screen Danny is an avid motorcyclist and has also appeared in many theatre productions, including Cats, Barnum, Carmen Jones and Starlight Express, so he can certainly dance. See the clip below.

He’ll be joining Katie Piper and Faye Tozer in the Ballroom, as well as the rest of the soon-to-be-revealed 2018 celebrities, in the new series this autumn.
