Graeme Swann is reportedly set to be the latest former England cricketer to grace the Strictly Come Dancing floor.

Swann, who claimed 255 Test wickets for his country in 60 appearances, could be about to follow the likes of Phil Tufnell, Mark Ramprakash, Darren Gough and Michael Vaughan by taking part in the hit BBC show.

The Sun say producers have lined up the 39-year-old father of two for a stint on weekend primetime television.

A Strictly source told the newspaper: "Producers love a sportsman and cricketers have a great track record.

"Though Graeme might come across as a bit awkward, they’re hoping he’s got twinkle toes like some of his predecessors."

Should Swann swap reverse sweeps for sequins he will be aiming to become the third ex-England star to be crowned Strictly champion.

Gough won the programme in 2005 and Ramprakash the following year.

The line-up is due to be formally unveiled this week.
