Former Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba will feature in Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas special.

The 24-year-old, who was forced to retire from football after suffering a cardiac arrest last season, danced a routine for the pre-recorded BBC One special, which is due to broadcast on Christmas Day.

Muamba took to the dancefloor with professional partner Aliona Vilani for the series, which is due to finish this weekend.

The former midfielder's heart stopped for 78 minutes when he collapsed on the pitch at White Hart Lane during an FA Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
