It’s been rumoured that Mark Wright is going to be joining the Strictly Come Dancing line-up this year – but what will Michelle make of him getting super close to his undoubtedly beautiful dance partner?!

Apparently Strictly bosses were hoping to get both Michelle and Mark on the show, as “having a couple going head-to-head would have made great TV”, but they are said to be happy to have Mark on the line-up at least.

Well, at least Michelle won’t have him stepping all over her feet at their wedding ceremony – and we’re sure Mark won’t pull a Samia Ghadie and break it off with Michelle before growing suspiciously close to his dance partner, he knows a good thing when he’s got it – we hope!

Prepare yourself!

We're going to see Mark Wright in very tight trousers very soon – as he has signed up to star in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing!

Bosses at the BBC had hoped to land a ratings bonanza by having the star compete against his beau Michelle Keegan, but she turned down the offer after being approached earlier this year.

But is this a decision she might live to regret?!

Strictly dancer Ola Jordan has just revealed that there has been lots of romances between celebrities and dancers – many of which have been covered up!

We KNEW it!

Ola said, "It happens in the movies with actors and it happens on Strictly.”

"There have been relationships that have happened that have never come out in public, quite a bit. It happens all the time. It happens as people get close. It is the bond you have with your partner," she said.

We’re sure Michelle will have nothing to worry about…*gulp!

We were all pretty shocked when Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack announced that she was leaving the show.

Caroline said it was just time to “pass on the baton” to another presenter, in this case, radio host Sarah-Jane Crawford.

But what she failed to mention was that she had her eye on another massive TV gig – Strictly Come Dancing!

Caroline is a big fan of the show, and has reportedly been approached by BBC bosses to be the new presenter for the next series.

Caroline knows it could be her next big step and it would be an extra boost to beat her ex-boss Simon Cowell in the ratings!

While nothing has been set in stone yet, Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole revealed he’d love to see her on the show.

“She’d be great, definitely. That would be amazing,” the 38-year-old dancer said.

Interesting move Caroline!

Claudia Winkleman has been confirmed as Bruce Forsyth’s replacement on Strictly Come Dancing!

The presenter will join Tess Daly as they take on next season’s hopefuls in the popular TV show.

The announcement came following weeks of speculation about who would replace Sir Bruce as co-presenter on the show.

Claudia spoke of her delight about being chosen for the role: “I have loved Strictly since the moment it appeared on our screens and I am honoured and thrilled to now be a part of the Saturday night team … Working alongside Tess is always fantastic and I can’t wait to spend the weekends with her, our amazing dancers and the greatest judging panel on the planet. Sir Bruce is a living legend and we’ll all miss him very much.”

Tess also spoke of her excitement to be working so closely with Claudia: “I’m so pleased I’ll be working with Claudia – she’s long been part of the Strictly family and I’ve loved doing the Sunday show with her.”

We’re really looking forward to seeing this duo on our screens soon!

Do you think Claudia is a good fit for the show?

Can you guess who’s the next host of Strictly Come Dancing?

Strictly can spell curtain call for rocky relationships, says dance star

Most of us would have trouble watching our significant other glide around the dance floor with a scantily clad hottie.

So many of us would agree with Strictly Come Dancing star Pasha Kovalev’s theory that the show can push already rocky relationships over the edge.

Kovalev was dance partner to Countdown presenter Rachael Riley in the last series of Strictly, who split from her husband a mere month after she was voted off the show.

Riley joins a string of celebrity contestants who have seen their relationships fall apart after starring in the show, including Susanna Reid, Natasha Kaplinsky and Denise Van Outen.

The Ballroom star said the intimacy of dancing with a good-looking partner and the long hours spent away from home can make the contestant’s other half insanely jealous.

Kovalev told the Daily Mail, “Dancing is always between a man and a woman. I’ve heard of lots of cases where a wife is jealous of her husband because he is dancing with a beautiful skimpy dressed girl. There is plenty of that.”
