Nicole Scherzinger has confirmed her part in ABC's forthcoming TV remake of Dirty Dancing.
Sharing her excitement via Twitter on Tuesday, the former Pussycat Dolls singer said she was 'so excited' to join the cast of the 1987 adaptation, which already features Abigail Breslin and Debra Messing.
The 37-year-old is said to be reinventing the role of Johnny's original dance partner Penny, which was originally played by Cynthia Rhodes almost three decades ago.
And sharing a picture of her health checks and fitness training, the brunette added: #dirtydancing !!! I'm so excited!!! Lol! I'm coming for ya! #imcomingforyou'
Nicole, who went solo from the girlband in 2010, turned her hand to acting in 2014 when she took part in London's West End revival of Cats: The Musical.
The US network announced the remake back in December 2015, naming Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail in the lead role of Baby Houseman.
Penny falls pregnant in the original film and opts for an illegal abortion, forcing Baby to step in and dance with Johnny Prattes, who was originally played by Patrick Swayze.
Will & Grace actress Debra has been placed in the role of Marjorie Houseman, Baby's mother, though the actor taking on Johnny has not be confirmed.
The three-hour adaptation is thought to follow the same storyline, though its air date has yet to be revealed.
