Winehouse, who has battled drug problems and a failed marriage since her rise to fame, will appear on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing, which has been tackling its own problems this week.

Dancer Anton Du Beke has been embroiled in a race row - with calls for his sacking - after he used an offensive word in an off-air incident.

He and dance partner Laila Rouass presented a united front on spin-off show It Takes Two.

Du Beke said: "I would just like to reiterate my apology from last weekend to Laila, to everybody on the show really and to everybody who watches the show because I feel embarrassed, I feel stupid as well.

"It was a stupid thing to do. Now people are talking about that when they should be talking about the show, the great show that it is, and as I say I'm mortified about it completely and Laila has been quite remarkably wonderful."

Rouass told It Takes Two host Claudia Winkleman she wanted to "move on" from the row.

ITV1 is fielding its own musical big gun to draw in the audience when Robbie Williams makes his first live appearance to promote new single Bodies during the Sunday show. It will be his first UK appearance for three years.

Winehouse's appearance on Strictly will be as a backing vocalist for her 13-year-old god-daughter Dionne Bromfield.

Bromfield, who is signed to the Rehab singer's own label, Lioness Records, will perform her single Mama Said, taken from the forthcoming album Introducing Dionne Bromfield.
