London: Britain's long jump world champion Greg Rutherford is to take a break from his day job to appear on the BBC's popular programme 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 29-year-old 2012 Olympic champion, who had to settle for bronze at the Rio Olympics, said he was facing a vastly different challenge from trying to jump the furthest into a sandpit.
"I love being challenged and taking to the strictly ballroom is like nothing I have ever done before," said Rutherford, who won the world title in 2015.
