RACHEL Stevens has been drafted to the cast of Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

Rachel, a runner-up in the 2008 series on TV, has replaced Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge, who was forced to step down after discovering she was pregnant.

The live show is currently on tour, including Leeds First Direct Arena (tonight and tomorrow), Manchester Arena (Saturday and Sunday) and Sheffield Motorpoint Arena (Wednesday and Thursday).

Rachel took part in the 2009 Strictly tour soon after her TV appearance, and last month appeared in the Christmas special.

She is performing on the latest tour with professional dancer Kevin Clifton.
