She grew up watching Big Brother and has always said she would go on the show if it ever returned.
"I just think I fit the brief because I've got personality to sell and this is the best place for it," she said.
The dancer described herself as a "social being" and is excited to take part in a "totally surreal experience".

She also said she is "the type of person who is up for anything" and "the life and soul of the party".
Asked what she would do with the £100,000 cash prize if she won, she said: "I want a new car.
"I’m an idiot with money, so I'd probably put it somewhere safe where I can only access a small amount or else it will all be gone within the first 24 hours."
