From This Morning To Saturday Night?
The rumour mill continues to turn, implying that there may still be some Strictly slots up for grabs.
The Mirror reports that the BBC are courting Fern Britton to appear on the upcoming series, and have used Brendan Cole as a carrot to lure her in.
A source told the paper: "Producers have been wooing her for some time but it is only in the last few days talks have really progressed. Brendan was lined-up to dance with Jo Wood but now bosses have offered him to Fern as bait. Fern is bound to get lots of attention and they believe he’s the guy most equipped to handle it."
I like Fern and I think she'd be a pleasure to watch. But she does have some dance experience, having learned to dance as a youngster. And the public hate that.
A partnership with Brendan would be interesting. It would be a challenge for him, but at least Fern can dance, which would please him.
I thought she was robbed of a place in the final of Let's Dance For Comic Relief back in the spring. But the jury's out for me as to whether I'd want to see her as a participant.
Here she is on Let's Dance.
And click here for that famous tap dancing clip from 1982.

I love Fern too, but agree that people will kick up a fuss about the dance background.
The problem with Strictly is there aren't really any clear guidelines, the get the guests and some clearly have more dance background than others, people are always going to think that unfair.
Can't see Fern wanting to do it so soon after leaving TM though, she left for a break, Strictly is not a break!
