Rachel Zegler to perform on Strictly Come Dancing

Rachel Zegler will reportedly perform on Strictly Come Dancing later this month.

The BBC has confirmed that the actor, who recently concluded her run in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita at The London Palladium, will appear on the show for Icons Week.

According to The Independent, Zegler will perform “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” on the results show on 26 October, accompanied by two of the programme’s professional dancers.

This will be Zegler’s first performance on UK television, although she has previously appeared on The One Show and is set to appear on The Graham Norton Show on 24 October. Other appearances may be confirmed soon.

Zegler will follow a guest appearance by Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, who mentored contestants earlier this month. The professional dancers on the show will also pay tribute to Britney Spears in a routine featuring costumes from the singer’s different eras.
