Michelle Visage is the latest star to be confirmed for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star has become the ninth celebrity to sign up for the Latin and ballroom show, and she is looking forward to representing "women of a certain age" on the BBC One series.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, she said: "I’m very excited, I’m over the moon. This is one show I’ve loved for years.
"I’m a woman that’s 50 years old and I want to be out there representing women of a certain age who people say, ‘They’re old, they can’t do it anymore.’ Well, actually, yeah we can."
And Michelle is hoping she will be partnered up with Giovanni Pernice on the programme.
She added: "I’m Italian so I would love Giovanni. I love the Italian sense of humour, the accent is amazing and they have a good time.
"They’ve got to have some guns to lift all of this.
"I also love Aljaž [Škorjanec] and Gorka [Marquez]. One of those three I’d be over the moon."
But Michelle – who has been married to David Case for 22 years – laughed off any possibility of the so-called "’Strictly’ curse" striking, insisting it is "silly".
She said: "It makes me laugh that people think that that’s a thing. It’s so silly. My husband of 22 years is the love of my life.
"It [the curse] is laughable, that’s what it is."
As well as Michelle, Viscountess Emma Weymouth, Karim Zeroual, Mike Bushell, Catherine Tyldesley, Saffron Barker, David James, Chris Ramsey and Emma Barton will also compete on the programme later this year.
