The second contestant for the 2018 Strictly Come Dancing line-up was announced on Monday evening during The One Show, and we can't wait! Steps star Faye Tozer revealed that they will be putting on their dancing shoes ahead of next month's new series of the popular BBC One dance show. Speaking of their decision to hosts Alex Jones and Matt Baker, they said that they were looking forward to dressing up and despite being one fifth of the popular nineties band, she wasn't as confident as people may think. "Even though I have some experience I don't have any ballroom experience," she added. Alex also joked that Faye might have to dance to Tragedy during her time on the show. Faye will be joining a host of famous faces who will be competing in the dance contest in a bid to win over the judges and viewers at home.
