Michelle Williams To Star On ‘Strictly Come Dancing’

Published: Monday 23rd Aug 2010 by Sam

Michelle Williams looks set to follow up her successful stint on ‘Chicago’ by taking part in one of the UK’s biggest TV shows – ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

Full story after the jump…

According to Digital Spy, the Destiny’s Child star, 30, is believed to have been paid upwards of £100,000 to star in the ballroom dancing show. A fee producers were willing to pay as a means of attracting higher calibre stars to this season of the hit series (the UK’s version of ‘Dancing With The Stars’).

The 11th season of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ kicks off September 11th on BBC 1.

    well I’m glad that she still got some light BUT I just hope it won’t show too much of her unability to dance… because we all know that she’s not that good at dance… so yeah she needs those dancing lessons… but in a TV show… there’s some risks !

    I Love this woman, she has an amazing spirit and deserves all the blessings!

    100 000 pounds, damn!…me thinks I need to join a girl group, sing for a total of 4 seconds in a 4 minute song and maybe, just maybe I might get paid as much a Michelle.

    I love Michelle, she is extremly talanted and anyone who can perform in Chicago twice a day on the West End ans Broadway for nearly a year , is easily gonna kick ass for this show, Michelle has the right beautiful spirit to warm the hearts of the UK viewers plus, she has the right sassyness and galmour for ballroom dancing she will tear that s*** down!

    GREAT NEWS!!! I wanna see her in movies after this, she should have been in Four Coloured Gurls with JANET!

    that’s great news for her. i’m glad she’s expanding her wings a little and keeps on hustling out there.

  11. Truthfully August 23, 2010

    wow, good for her, i watch the show n i luved destiny’s child.

  12. I-CANT August 23, 2010

    I love Michelle and will be her biggest supporter till the end. Haters can go kick rocks because if it was so EASY to sing for 4 secs in a 4 minute song you’d be where she’s at right now so I say SHUT IT UP! Thanx

  14. FutureClassics August 23, 2010

    I can’t wait for this.

  15. AJAX August 23, 2010

    She’s far from an A lister and 100k pounds is way below average for the US show. The D lister stars they get for DWTS stateside get between $250k-350k on average. 100k pounds is only 122k usd.

  16. Nigel August 23, 2010

    Cannot wait for this!! Saw her when she did Chicago last year and met her afterwards, she really does have an amazing personailty and is a brilliant performer, she will definitely do well on strictly

  17. truth August 23, 2010

    to olw define someone who cant dance……michelle can dance ….just because u think shes not as good a dancer as beyonce…..or her videos dotn showe r her dancing doesnt mean nothing get a gripfool

  18. truth August 23, 2010

    and wehat do u knowe ajax ur not even a z lister …..keeps ur stupid boring facts to ur self

  19. AJAX August 23, 2010

    @TRUTH

    Yea, idiot..I’m an A+ lister which is far more than your integrity. Work for the Enquirer much? Some truth u are b*** f***! LOLz.

    FINALLY YOU POST THIS! LOL!! IT’S ABOUT TIME!!

    I’M SOOOO HAPPY FOR MICHELLE AND I HOPE SHE DOES IT! This could really LAUNCH her solo career in the UK! Look at Alesha Dixon! Alesha only managed one top 20 single before her album was shelved…then she went on Strictly, won, made a new album and now has four top 20 singles – two of which have hit the top ten!

    We Break The Dawn reached its highest peak in the UK at #47 with little promo! Could you imagine what she could do if she put out a single not long after being on Strictly (after she is voted out/or wins)! She could definately get a top ten! So many people love We Break The Dawn, and the Unexpected album brought her a lot of new UK fans along with her hard work in the theatre world

    shes a flop back up singer

  22. K.Row Kid August 24, 2010

    I wish it was the US Version. But if Michelle is on it, I will definitely be hitting up youtube to see her week to week! I honestly think Michelle should go into acting! She can seriously act and not just stage act.

    @ARFA

    What is your singing range? Where can I buy your album? How much did it sell? When does your next album come out?

    These are all serious questions, since you fell as if you can critique Michelle’s career and level of talent.

  23. G August 25, 2010

    YEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!! OMG I’M SOOO EXITED , MY GIRL IS GOING TO KILL.IT !!!!
