Keith Lemon and Ashley Roberts have been named as hosts of a new E4 reality series based on the iconic Patrick Swayze film Dirty Dancing.
In The Real Dirty Dancing, 10 celebrities will move into a stunning Lakeside location, before pairing up and taking on challenges and dance routines based on iconic scenes from the film.
The climax of the series will see the last two couples take on one final dance from the film - the signature run and lift - in a special performance.
"Dirty Dancing has been bringing people together to sing and dance (and swoon over Johnny Castle) since the 80s," said Genna Gibson, entertainment commissioning editor at C4.
"We hope, like the film, that this colourful and entertaining show will get people together to watch and root for their favourite couples.
"I'm so excited to be bringing this format to the UK, as it's exactly the type of large scale, glossy reality event that we've been looking for and that our audiences love, whether that's watching together on E4 or bingeing on All 4.
"I cannot wait to see how our celebrities will cope recreating some of the most iconic scenes in movie history!"
The Real Dirty Dancing is due to air on E4 next year.
