Dirty Dancing is being remade for TV.

US network ABC has announced plans for a three hour adaptation of the classic 80s movie

Oscar-nominated Abigail Breslin - who starred in Little Miss Sunshine - is the only confirmed cast member.

The 19-year-old will play baby, the role made famous by Jennifer Grey nearly 30 years ago.

The news has sparked speculation as to who will play dance instructor Johnny, the part that catapulted the late Patrick Swayze to stardom.
