While Peep Show<\/a> fans across the country are looking forward to seeing Robert Webb<\/a> bring some Rainbow Rhythms to Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> this year, those hoping he\u2019ll be making his ballroom debut to Harvey Danger\u2019s Flagpole Sitta should prepare to be disappointed.<\/p>\n

The comedian, who starred in the Channel 4 sitcom alongside David Mitchell from 2003 until 2015, has revealed that he has no desire to dance to the Peep Show theme song whilst on Strictly.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he would be learning a routine to the rock tune, Webb said: \u201cOh God I hope not, that would be cheesy as f**k, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Webb played Jeremy Usbourne across nine series of the cringe comedy, written by Succession<\/a>\u2018s Jesse Armstrong and Fresh Meat\u2019s Sam Bain, which followed two dysfunctional friends sharing a flat in Croydon. Peep Show used Daniel Pemberton\u2019s Pip Pop Plop as its theme song for series one, however the remaining seasons opened with a shortened version of Harvey Danger\u2019s Flagpole Sitta.Webb is just one of 15 celebrities who recently joined the Strictly Come Dancing line-up<\/a>, with the likes of Rose Ayling-Ellis<\/a>, AJ Odudu<\/a>, Greg Wise<\/a> and Tom Fletcher<\/a> also getting ready to compete for the coveted Strictly Glitterball.\n

The BBC shared a first-look image<\/a> of all the contestants in their glittery, sequinned costumes on Sunday ahead of Saturday\u2019s highly-anticipated launch show.<\/p>\n

Strictly\u2019s upcoming series will see former professional Anton Du Beke fill in for Bruno Tonioli, who will be missing another year of the competition due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
