Latest Rumours

The Sun is mourning the end of Strictly Come Dancing for another year, so they have resorted to turning the handles on the rumour mill, a good six months before the next batch of hopefuls meet their pros.

They claim that producers have approached Simon Cowell's literary agenct half-brother Tony. A source told the paper: “It’s early days but Tony’s been in touch and producers are keen. The Cowell brothers going head-to-head would make great Saturday night telly. There’s always been a rivalry between Strictly and X Factor and this would take that up a notch.”

Personally, I'm not buying it. Tony is unknown to the British public, and I can't imagine anyone would have the vaguest interest in watching him.

The same Sun source also suggests that Kelly Rowland would like to take part: “Kelly is keen to do the show and has made no secret of it. She’s got a lovely figure and would love to learn ballroom.”

Again, I can't see it. Dancing With The Stars perhaps, but not our Strictly.
