Martine McCutcheon will return to the small screen singing a 40s wartime classic on Strictly Dance Fever.

The 29-year-old former EastEnders star has signed up to appear in a special VE Day edition of the BBC1 dance show, the Sun reports.

Martine, who played Tiffany Mitchell in the soap in the late 90s, has currently been keeping herself busy with a burgeoning film and pop career.

But the Love Actually star is taking a break to sing Vera Lynn's classic song, We'll Meet Again, on the Beeb next month.

"We're really excited to have Martine on - she loves the old classics," a Dance Fever source told the newspaper.

"She'll be dressed up in full 1940s glamour."

Kiwi dance champion Brendan Cole will also be appearing in the programme, which will see contestants getting into the 40s groove and performing dances like the jitterbug.
