Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze starred in the original Dirty Dancing which was a surprise box office hit in 1987

It's 35 years since the original Dirty Dancing shimmied its way onto the big screen, and now a sequel to the much-loved film is in the works.

Jennifer Grey - who played Frances 'Baby' Houseman in the cult classic - has been confirmed to star in the new movie.

Film studio Lionsgate announced the news during their presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, according to Entertainment Weekly.

A short video was shown to the audience of industry insiders, incorporating footage from the original film and a voiceover announcing, "Jennifer Grey returns to Kellerman's in the next chapter".

Kellerman's is the name of the summer resort where the action of Dirty Dancing takes place, and Baby transforms, with the help of a few dance classes.

Grey is about to release a new biography titled Out of the Corner - a reference to the film's famous line: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner…".
