The sportsman - who is also the son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright - played for clubs including Manchester City.

Former England and Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is the latest star to join the line-up for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. The football pundit, who is the son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright, had 36 caps for England and also played for clubs including Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers. His fancy footwork may have dazzled on the pitch but Wright-Phillips says this latest challenge "is definitely outside my comfort zone. Dancing is in my blood -but mainly at family events! I'm super excited to get started and really looking forward to the challenge!" While ex-footballers have had mixed fortunes on previous Strictly series, former soccer star Karen Carney flipped the script last year by winning the coveted glitterball. Wright-Phillips is the tenth celebrity to be confirmed for this year's series, joining stars including Delta Goodrem, Lacey Turner, Dani Dyer and Jaime Winstone. More celebrities are set to be announced in the coming weeks, with 15 expected in the final line-up. Antonia has portrayed dragon-rider Lady Baela Targaryen in HBO's Game of Thrones prequel since 2022. She is currently starring as Eurydice in the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown in London's West End. Her acting career began when she was 14 when she appeared in a short film adaptation of The Tempest, before being cast as a guest role in the BBC's Doctors.
