Michael Brandon dances for primetime ITV dance show

Michael Brandon is to be a contestant on a primetime dance show this month on UK television.

With wife Glynis Barber, the two will compete together on Stepping Out for ITV, long being touted as a rival to the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.

The show sees six celebrities taking on different styles of dancing with their real-life partners. Both the recently verified Brandon and Barber have been tweeting avidly over their progress.

The two appeared on All Star Mr & Mrs earlier this year on the channel to be quizzed on their relationship and ended up winning £20,000 for The Autism Trust.

Professional boxer Carl Froch and JLS' Ortisé Williams are just some of the other stars who have signed on to be part of the show.

Stepping Out premieres on ITV in the UK on August 31st at 6:30pm.
