BOLTON DJ Sara Cox is one of the famous faces donning her dancing shoes for charity.

The BBC Radio 2 presenter, from Little Lever, has signed up to take part in the Comic Relief Danceathon.

The event, which takes place on Sunday, March 8, at The SSE Arena, Wembley, will also feature Davina McCall, Caroline Flack,

Kirstie Allsopp, Arlene Phillips, Rachel Riley and Rufus Hound.

More than 2,000 fundraisers will dance non-stop at Wembley, with thousands more expected to take part across the country in village halls, gyms and living rooms, by using the BBC Red Button.

Participants will be able to get their groove on to a range of genres including '70s disco, '80s power and '90s rave, as well as pop, soul, ballroom and musical theatre.

The money raised by the Comic Relief Danceathon will be spent in the UK and across Africa, helping vulnerable and disadvantaged people to turn their lives around.
