Strictly Spice

Now all the celebrities have been chosen, the BBC bookers have to turn their attention to the musical guests. There is always an interlude when "the votes are counted and verified" and a group or singer has to fill that nervous 4 minutes.

According to Entertainmentwise.com, the bookers are on the trail of the Spice Girls, whose reunion tour will be the hot ticket while Strictly is on air.

But The X Factor is also trying to line up the Girls.

The BBC will be hoping Strictly's relationship with Emma will count for something, as well as Mel B's participation on Dancing With The Stars.
