NEIGHBOURS favourite Stefan Dennis has signed for the new series of Strictly.
The actor, 66, has played six-times married Ramsay Street lothario Paul Robinson since the first episode in 1985.
The soap’s final episode filmed at Nunawading Studios in Australia on Friday, and will air on Amazon Prime in December.
It leaves Stefan free to take to the dancefloor this autumn to impress actress wife Gail Easdale, 52, and their three children.
A source said: “Stefan is a huge character on the soap and is sure to be a hit with Strictly fans.
“BBC bosses are confident Stefan will bring in the ratings.
“He has made no secret of the fact that he would love to star on Strictly and will put his all into the training.”
Paul Robinson’s biggest storyline was in 2005 for the 20th anniversary when he was shoved from a mezzanine — leading to the “Who Pushed P.R?” mystery.
As a singer, Stefan also reached No16 in the UK singles chart with 1989’s Don’t It Make You Feel Good.
The BBC declined to comment.
