Fabrice Muamba, who suffered a heart attack during an FA Cup tie, is to mark his comeback by strutting his stuff on the dancefloor.
The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder will be among the guest stars on the one-off Christmas edition of Strictly Come Dancing.
The announcement comes just weeks after the 24-year-old told of his desire to star in the show.
In a recent interview he said he turned down Dancing On Ice, but added: "I'd do Strictly Come Dancing. I love my salsa, so I'd be well up for that."
Muamba collapsed in front of 35,000 fans in a match against Spurs earlier this year when he suffered his heart problem.
Muamba's heart stopped for 78 minutes The Zaire-born player, who recently tied the knot with Shauna Magunda, was technically dead for 78 minutes but was brought back after repeated shocks from a defibrillator, which made his heart beat again.
He has since given up football, although he has been allowed to take part in short kickabouts, including one with a group of youngsters for Children In Need.
Muamba - who came to the UK at the age of 11 - will dance with Aliona Vilani who made an early exit from this year's Strictly competition through a damaged ankle while her partner Johnny Ball was voted out during her absence.
A show insider said: "This booking comes on the back of our most successful series ever."
The full line-up is due to be confirmed in a week.
