Amy Childs, Scott Mills and Olly Murs will take part in this year's Let's Dance For Sport Relief.

The BBC TV series where celebrities recreate famous dance routines for charity returns in February for a five-week run.

Comedians Omid Djalili, Ava Vidal and Patrick Monahan are also due to take part in the new series.

The programme will once again be hosted by Alex Jones and Steve Jones.

The show will also feature guest performances from JLS, Tinchy Stryder, LMFAO and Pixie Lott.

Other celebrities to sign up as contestants for the new series include BBC radio presenters Tony Blackburn and David Hamilton and comedy duo Watson & Oliver.

TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson will also take part. She is set to dance with her former Shooting Stars teammate Angelos Epithemiou.

The weekly show sees contestants perform their routines in front of a live audience before viewers vote for the acts they want to see in the grand final.

Money raised from public voting goes to Sport Relief.

Other contestants to be revealed for this year's series include British skier Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and comedian Rowland Rivron.

The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs will team up with her former co-star Harry Debridge for her routine.

Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills will be paired with Olly Murs - who reached number one in the UK album chart in November with In Case You Didn't Know.

Celebrities who have previously taken part in the show include Katie Price, Caroline Flack, Paddy McGuinness and Noel Fielding.

Memorable performances from previous series include Lulu - who danced to Soulja Boy's Crank That last year - and Peep Show's Robert Webb, who is remembered for performing a routine from Flashdance in a leotard.

The new series begins on Saturday 18 February on BBC One, with the final taking place on 17 March.
