Strictly bosses set sights on Tom Hiddleston for next year’s competition

According to The Sun, BBC bosses are keen to sign up Tom following his surprise appearance in the Strictly audience.

“Tom is a huge fan of Strictly and asked to come backstage to last Saturday’s show. He sat in the audience for the live show and beforehand asked for selfies with all of the pros,” a source told the tabloid.

The hope is that next year, he’ll be the big-name signing

The source continued: “He told producers he’d love to be on it so the hope is that next year, he’ll be the big-name signing.”

“He also met Kate Middleton and Prince George who were also backstage, and had an amazing evening.”

Is Tom headed for the Strictly ballroom? ED! approached Tom’s reps for comment. The BBC declined to comment.

Bobby Brazier ‘in trouble’ ahead of this weekend’s elimination?

In other news from the Strictly Ballroom, Bobby Brazier has been tipped to leave the competition this weekend.

Speaking on behalf of online bookies Betfair Slots, body language expert Darren Stanton has revealed that he thinks Bobby could be eliminated tomorrow.

“I think Bobby could be in trouble this week. Although he has done really well to get through to the semi-finals, he isn’t the strongest dancer in the competition. Based on his last performance, Bobby was lacking slightly compared to Layton and Ellie,” he said.

“He has definitely had a turbulent journey on the show. I did think Bobby could have been a potential winner, but there’s been a few facial expressions and a real lack of confidence in recent weeks,” he continued.

This follows recent events of the show – with Bobby and Dianne narrowly avoiding elimination against Angela Rippon a few weeks ago.

Could Bobby’s time be up?
