Nigel Harman to join Strictly Come Dancing
Discussing joining Strictly, the actor said: "I'm amazed, excited, and terrified to be doing Strictly. As an armchair fan of the show, I have watched in awe as people have twirled and gyrated across the screen. And now it's my turn... gulp!"
Alongside his time on screen, Harman has done work on stage, performing in Guys and Dolls on London's West End and Sherk the Musical, which he later directed for the UK tour.
