Bond girl Fiona Fullerton joins Strictly Come Dancing

Bond girl Fiona Fullerton will join 14 other contestants in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 next week.

The 56 year-old Nigerian-born British actress appeared as Soviet agent Pola Ivanova in 1985's "A View To A Kill", sharing a hot tub with Roger Moore.

She said, "I was looking for a challenge and an adventure, and swapping my wellington boots from living in the country for a whole load of sequins is very appealing."

The only other Bond connection to this year's line up is singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who screentested for a role in the 2002 film "Die Another Day".

Past years have seen Bond alumni take part including Colin Salmon, Goldie and Lulu.

Thanks to `Samuel001 ` for the alert.
