Patrick Swayze to be honoured on Dancing With The Stars

US series will pay tribute to actor

Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008

Patrick Swayze’s life will be celebrated on US show Dancing With The Stars next week.

The Dirty Dancing star, 57, passed away after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer on Monday.
 
‘He was one of the few people to integrate dance with being an A-list actor,’ executive producer Conrad Green tells People.

‘He inspired many people and many of our pros to dance.

'We want to honour the great moments he’s brought to film by getting our dancers to do their interpretation to some music from his films.’

The tribute will be broadcast on Wednesday.

Patrick was a guest mentor on the first season of Dancing With The Stars in 2005.
