Cheryl has been busy promoting her new small screen project which features her as a dance mentor alongside Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse.

The launch event took place in London this week, and now the former Girls Aloud star has confirmed the start date.

In a post on her Instagram page, she wrote: "We’ll be dancing on to your screens on Saturday 5th January, on @bbcone! #TGD #GreatestDancer."

It marks her first full time TV role since she quit The X Factor in 2015.

The former Girls Aloud star has been busy focusing on her career comeback in recent weeks.

She relaunched her music with single Love Made Me Do It, which hit a chart high of number 19 on its release last month, and is now moving forward with her return to reality TV.

The Greatest Dancer is the brainchild of Cheryl's old pal Simon Cowell and will be a dance show with an X Factor-style format of auditions and live shows.

Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo will be hosting the show.

It is due to take over Saturday nights on BBC One from the first weekend in January.
