LIL' KIM BECAME A DANCING FAN IN PRISON

Rapper LIL' KIM is delighted to be competing on the new season of U.S. TV's DANCING WITH THE STARS - because it is 'the number one show in prison'.

The Lady Marmalade hitmaker was jailed for a year and a day in 2005 after being found guilty of perjury in relation to a New York shoot out in 2001.

But while behind bars in Philadelphia, Kim developed a love for the reality show, and was encouraged by all the inmates to enter the dance competition.

She tells The Insider, "I'm a huge fan! When I was in prison, me and my girls used to watch it. My girls were like, 'Kim, you need to be on that show.'

"In prison you have to all agree what shows you watch. If we can't agree, it doesn't get watched. Everyone watched it faithfully. It's like the number one show in prison!"

And Kim is thankful to have landed last year's (08) Dancing With The Stars champion, Derek Hough, as her professional partner.

She adds, "I was hoping and praying that I got Derek for my partner."

The new Dancing With The Stars competition premieres in the U.S. on 9 March (09).
