Anneka Rice has reportedly signed for Strictly Come Dancing.
The 60-year-old presenter was said to be keen to take part last year and Strictly bosses have finally landed her for the next series, a source has claimed.
BBC's Challenge Anneka first hit our screens 30 years ago after Channel 4's Treasure Hunt made her a household name in the 80s.
A TV insider told The Sun: "Strictly believe they’ve made a top signing in Anneka.
“She’s a TV institution and a familiar face to viewers who’ll be rooting for her. Anneka is in great shape and can’t wait to strut her stuff.”
Anneka was last on our screens when she took part in Celebrity Hunted for Stand Up to Cancer.
She revealed earlier this year that her all-action nature had once seen her get offered the role of a Bond Girl.
At the height of her fame, when she was a jumpsuit wearing 'skyrunner' in Treasure Hunt and then taking on huge projects for Challenge Anneka, she was twice awarded the 'coveted' Rear of the Year award.
In later years, Anneka has become a familiar voice on the radio, with her having various shows on BBC Radio 2.
She currently presents the Pick of Radio 2 on Saturday night from midnight, which brings the best bits from the station over the past seven days.
Mirror Online has contacted Anneka's rep for comment.
