Strictly bosses are reportedly “desperate” to get a celebrity couple on the show in latest news.
According to reports, bosses want to see a famous couple go up against each other in the BBC competition.
And it seems they already have one couple in mind…
Strictly Come Dancing news
The Sun reports that bosses would love to see Emma Willis and her husband Matt compete on Strictly Come Dancing.
A source told the publication: “Strictly are desperate to get a celebrity couple on the show and Emma and Matt were in negotiations for the last series. It was virtually a done deal but then Matt was cast in the theatre show 2:22 A Ghost Story and they had to back out.
“Strictly would love to have them back on board for next year’s show and Emma and Matt have said if they can make it work they would jump at the chance.”
The insider added: “Bosses on the show are always looking at ways to keep the format fresh and they loved the idea of having a celebrity couple competing against one another.”
The source said Matt and Emma are “very much in the running”.
However, if they can’t make it work, the Strictly booker will “be looking at other famous partnerships”.
A rep for Strictly declined to comment when approached by ED!.
