New Zealander Hayley Holt adds to the sexiest Strictly line up ever - with stars Rachel Stevens and Lisa Snowdon also in the mix.
Voted New Zealand's sexiest woman in 2007, the 28-year-old is certainly hot to foxtrot.
When she appeared in the Kiwi version of strictly - Dancing With The Stars - she was linked with her her co-stars.
Tongues were set wagging after her dance partner Brendon Pongia appeared on a radio show the morning after the pair was eliminated and admitted that he had not been home.
Later that day ex-basketball star Brendon and Hayley both appeared bleary-eyed on a TV show, yet denied they had quick-stepped it back to her place.
And it's good news for her Strictly partner - Olympic swimmer Mark Foster.
Hayley seems to have developed a taste for water champions after also being linked with another of her Strictly partners - Kiwi Olympic swimming champion Danyon Loader.
Hayley was drafted into the UK show to replace axed dancer Nicole Cutler.
But despite clicking with her co-stars away from the dancefloor, Hayley said she is not always pleased with the selection of her partners.
She moaned: "The dancers have to make do with who they get given.
"It's a bit nerve-racking before you find out who they've paired you off with.
"I think the producers try and match up people who might make headlines, romance possibilities etc."
"It is all a cunning plan."
Not only is Hayley a whizz on the dancefloor, she also hits the slopes as a professional snow-boarder.
And dressing up in sequins does nothing for her credibility with fellow boarders
"They give me a hard time" she laughed. "They couldn't believe the person who danced across their screens last year. I look NOTHING like a dancer when I'm in my baggy boarding gear and most of them had no idea I moonlighted as a ballroom dancer."
Despite making her name through dancing, she admits that snowboarding is her first love.
"I have given up dancing before so that I could follow winters and pursue snowboarding, so if I had to pick between them, it would have to be snowboarding." she revealed.
Hayley has been dating All Blacks rugby captain Richie McCaw for over a year - but the cross-continent romance could prove a problem.
The pair had been planning to move in together, but have put their arrangements on hold while Hayley is living in London.
A pal of the pair told us "Richie is in love with Hayley, but worries whether they can keep their romance alive when they are thousands of miles apart - especially given her track record on dance shows."
Hayley is no stranger to reality TV having won NZD 50,000 (over £18,000) on Treasure Island, Pirates of the Pacific, beating contestants such as Rebecca Loos.
Based on our, it already looks like she's on winning form.
