Read our privacy policy Former Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams will share the dancefloor with ex-MP Ann Widdecombe in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. And they couldn't be more different, with Williams saying she was looking forward to learning some "sexy, sultry, seductive" moves while politician turned novelist Widdecombe wants "a nice gentle waltz". Veteran television magician Paul Daniels is one of the show's oldest ever dancers at 72 - almost twice the age of 37-year-old Jimi Mistry who is also set to appear.
