Glamour model will replace Jennifer Ellison in search for TV's raunchiest dance duo

Thursday, 15 May 2008

Kelly Brook has confirmed she is to be a judge on the second series of Living TV's search for the next Johnny and Baby.

The glamour model will replace Jennifer Ellison, 25, on Dirty Dancing: The Time Of Your Life, which is set in the original resort in Virginia in the US.

‘Dirty Dancing is one of my favourite films,’ Kelly tells The Sun. ‘I can’t wait to get to Kellerman’s, carry the watermelon and learn the rules of Dirty Dancing. While raw dance talent is essential I’ll be looking for that chemistry in our couples which will make the dance floor sizzle.’

Actress Miranda Garrison, 58, and choreographer Sean Cheesman, will reprise their roles on the judging panel.

Kelly, 28, will be out in the US for 3 months to film the programme – which means she’ll be closer to on-off boyfriend Billy Zane, 42.

The couple, who called off their engagement last month, are said to be trying to work things out. They were spotted together in London earlier this week.

Dirty Dancing: The Time Of Your Life will air in the autumn.
