Chesney Hawkes and Lulu have joined the lineup of celebrities on Let's Dance For Comic Relief.
Hosted by Steve Jones and The One Show's Alex Jones, the comedy dance programme will air in the run-up to this year's Red Nose Day.
Lulu, TV presenter Caroline Flack, Ade Edmondson and Lee Nelson are all taking part in the dance contest. Meanwhile, one-hit wonder Hawkes will join Toyah Wilcox, Clare Grogan and Limahl in a supergroup on the show.
TV comics Miranda Hart, Keith Lemon and Felix Dexter will be on the rotating judging panel.
Let's Dance For Comic Relief starts on Saturday, February 19 on BBC One.
Jordan is also on the show this year
I loved Philip Martin Brown and REbecca Ryan (Grantly and Vicki) Waterloo Road, he was great! and i liked Ed Byrne as well with Arlene Phillips.
I notice they are pretty much all comedians this year
Russell Kane (Beyonce) won and Katie Price (Freddie Mercury) was runner up
A double act of James Thornton and Charlie Baker and Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding have become the next two performers to snag a place in the Let's Dance For Comic Relief final.
The Emmerdale actor teamed up with close friend and comedian Baker for an impressive tap dance rendition of Fred Astaire favourite 'Puttin' On The Ritz', which topped tonight's viewers' vote and earned them an automatic place in the show's grand finale.
Clearly stunned by the results, Thornton gasped: "[I] genuinely don't believe that."
The show's guest judges Lee Mack, Jack Whitehall and Celebrity Juice host Keith Lemon were then asked to choose between the next two most popular acts, Fielding and his take on Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' or legendary popstar Lulu and her hoodie-clad rendition of 'Crank That' by Soulja Boy.
Mack gave the first vote to Fielding, reasoning: "I find them both very alluring, but at the end of the day Noel did try and kiss me so I suppose I have to put Noel through."
Whitehall then opted to take, by his own admission, the coward's way out by voting for Lulu and burdening Lemon with the deciding vote.
After his appeal for an X Factor-style deadlock was turned down, Lemon stated: "I like Lulu cos she's right nice and that, but Noel Fielding also looks attractive. I've never fancied a man before."
Under pressure from hosts Steve Jones and Alex Jones, as well as his fellow judges, Lemon finally snapped and shouted out Fielding's name.
Following his win, Fielding declared himself to be "flabbergasted" and "excited", while Lulu brushed off her defeat by saying: "It was fun, but remember what it's all about, it's all about the charity."
The other failed acts in tonight's show were GMTV star Penny Smith, who became an air hostess for her send-up of 'Toxic' by Britney Spears, Jarred Christmas and his leotard-heavy rendition of 'Hung Up' by Madonna and Andi Osho with her take on Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.
The first two places in the Let's Dance final were won by Russell Kane and Katie Price last week.
The Let's Dance For Comic Relief final will be shown on March 12.

James Thornton was brilliant, i was amazed at him and Charlie Baker!
Comedians and sports stars will be among those hitting the dancefloor for a new series of Let's Dance For Comic Relief.
Fifteen contestants will battle it out in weekly heats before the 2013 champion is crowned in the grand final.
Former boxing champion Ricky Hatton will be taking part, alongside impersonator John Culshaw, ventriloquist Nina Conti and stand-up comic Tim Vine.
They will be attempting to emulate the success of television presenter Rowland Rivron, who wowed audiences with his routine to Fatboy Slim's Weapon Of Choice last year.
Host Steve Jones said: "It's still the most fun I have on TV so I am ecstatic Let's Dance is back with a whole host of famous faces along with famous arms, legs, necks and fingers all attempting to dance for our viewing pleasure."
Co-host Alex Jones said she was "ridiculously excited" about the series, which raises money for the Comic Relief fund to help those in Africa and in the UK.
She added: "We have some of our best comedians as panellists, and an unbelievable line-up of brave celebrities who are all prepared to don their dancing shoes to raise lots of money for this year's Red Nose Day."
Judges for this year's Let's Dance, which starts on February 16 and ends on March 9, include Frank Skinner and Jo Brand. Viewers vote for their favourite performer each week, with the judges also choosing a runner-up to compete in the final.
