Sally Nugent is swapping the BBC Breakfast sofa for the Strictly ballroom floor in this year's Christmas special.
The popular dancing show has announced the first three celebrities taking part in the annual festive episode, which will see the ballroom floor transformed into a winter wonderland.
Joining Sally in this year's line-up are broadcaster Dan Snow and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick.
Sally, who fronts BBC Breakfast from Monday to Wednesday each week, will be paired with Graziano Di Prima.
On joining the festive line-up, the 52-year-old said: "I am thrilled and slightly terrified to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special. I'm hoping the judges will be kind - and filled with Christmas spirit. And I hope everyone watching at home will enjoy a little bit of Strictly magic on Christmas night."
