Artem Chigvinstev, who appeared on the dancing show from 2010 to 2013 (and won the Glitterball trophy with Kara Tointon), will be swapping his dancing shoes for welly boots in the upcoming series of the popular 5STAR show.

In the series, the stars will be taking on day-to-day farm life, where they will have to take part in a series of difficult farm-related challenges, from mucking out stables to handling alpacas.

Speaking about the show on Twitter, Artem wrote: "If you're in the UK you can catch me soon on 'Celebs On The Farm on @5star_tv."
