Jodie Kidd has reportedly signed up to star in BBC TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The stunning model - who was dropped as the face of Marks and Spencer following allegations she supplied cocaine to undercover reporters - will showcase her dancing skills alongside TV chef Gary Rhodes and former M People singer Heather Small when the new series starts later this year, it has been claimed.

A source told the MailOnline website: "Jodie's had a tough year and has stayed very low-key deliberately. She's not a dancer and has never been theatrically trained but she is fit and determined to make a success of it."

The 29-year-old beauty is rumoured to have been offered a staggering £30,000 to appear on the show.

We love the show. But we can't spare anyone for that long.

It was recently reported 'EastEnders' bosses have banned castmembers from appearing on the weekend primetime show because it interferes with the shooting of the soap.

Due to the new series of the BBC TV talent show lasting 16 weeks - two weeks longer than previous series - producers of the hit soap feel they can't spare any of the cast to test their skills on the dancefloor.

An 'EastEnders' insider said: "We love the show. But we can't spare anyone for that long."
