Taking a new step: Rochelle Humes is set to become a contestant in the 2013 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special 

She's more than used to dancing in front of big audiences as one fifth of girl band The Saturdays.
But now the Daily Star Sunday reports that singer, Rochelle Humes, 24, will be learning how to move like the professionals.
She'll be taking part in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special which will be shown on BBC1 on Christmas Day.

Pals say Rochelle, who is married to hunky JLS singer, Marvin, can't wait to shake her hips after giving birth to the couple's daughter Alaia Mai six months ago. 
Her friend told The Sun: 'Rochelle sees it as the perfect way to get fit after the baby.'
The singer will be joined by DJ Sara Cox, West End star, Elaine Paige and Matt Goss from 80s boy band, Bros. 
Matt, 45, now lives in LA and has recently had a Las Vegas residency but no doubt he will plan to  use the show as a way to boost his career back in the UK.

But he has already appeared on the show once before. Last month, Matt performed his band's one-time hit single When Will I Be Famous on the glitzy dance show. 
Looking dapper in a suit, tie and his trademark fedora hat the singer performed a big band version of the song which was the breakthrough tune for his band - it reached number two back in 1988.
Also taking part are comedian Rufus Hound and EastEnders actor, Ricky Norwood, who plays Fatboy in the soap.

The dancers won't have long to get learn their foxtrot from their rumba as they only start training next week ahead of filming, with Rochelle already looking like she will top the bill. 
Last year, the show was a ratings hit with more than 10million people tuning into watch the Blackpool special. 
It trumped the X Factor's ratings which were just 8.5million.
