Zoe Hopes Her Luck-er Is In

Footballers' Wives actress Zoe Lucker is hoping to take to the floor.

According to The Sun, Zoe is in talks to take part in Strictly, and is peachy keen. A source told the paper: "Zoe's really keen to sign up for Strictly. Over the years she's seen how being on the show has raised profiles of the celebrities who've taken part, such as Alesha Dixon and Rachel Stevens. She feels that she's still only really known for her part in Footballers' Wives, which ended more than three years ago. Zoe's looking for new challenges and thinks this could be her big break."

Of course participating in Stricly Come Dancing will raise one's profile, but it's a bit cynical if that is your primary reason for wanting to do it.

Alesha and Rachel were very successful in the competition, and therefore further success followed. But if you're eliminated in the early stages, people barely even remember you participated. Gillian Taylforth, Jelly - sorry - Jessie Wallace, Jaye Jacobs and Siobhan Hayes did not enjoy the same levels of exposure following their early exits.
