Beckham Seal Of Approval For Strictly

Apparently Victoria Beckham loves Strictly Come Dancing, because it brings her whole family together.

The List reports that Kristina Rihanoff revealed the news in an interview with the Sun On Sunday"I had the pleasure of talking to Victoria and I just found her so lovely. She was asking me a lot about the show. She knew so much about how I had done with my partner Ben Cohen. I was a little surprised actually. She knew if he'd had a good week doing ballroom and a bad week the next. Very specific stuff. For example, she said she liked his lifts which shows she must really be paying attention! It was nice to know she is watching with her family. She was very sweet about her family spending quality time together for Strictly. "

James Sutton: Strictly Is "Fabulous"

Hollyoaks actor James Sutton has revealed that he loves Strictly, although he doesn't think he'd be good enough to participate.

He told Yahoo!: "I don't mind shows where you get to learn a skill. I love Strictly Come Dancing. It's fabulous! That's a wonderful show. I'm not sure I'd ever do it because I think I'd be pretty crap at it."

He also thinks it's better than other reality shows: "I watched that Splash! thing that [Hollyoaks co-star] Gemma Merna was in. I thought that was a bit bizarre to be honest. There was an awful lot of talk and not a lot of diving. But I love the Strictly stuff."

Nick Frost: "They Probably Couldn't Afford Me"

Actor Nick Frost, star of upcoming dance movie Cuban Fury, thinks he'd be too good and too expensive for Strictly Come Dancing.

He told mancunianmatters.co.uk: "They probably couldn't afford me, and technically I'd be too good. I would be good at salsa but ruined when it came to the American Smooth. It's the only time in the week, other than Sunday lunch, when we sit as a group and watch Strictly. My mother-in-law would be pissed off if I stopped that and actually went on it!"

Daniella Westbrook For 2014?

Could actress Daniella Westbrook already be lined up for this year's Strictly?

The Metro reports that a source told The Sun"Despite the sad start to the year [splitting from her husband], she knows ending it with the glamour of Strictly would be perfect."

The report claims that Daniella has been encouraged to participate by James Jordan, who is a friend.

Grayson Perry Would Like To Do Strictly

Turner prize-winning potter Grayson Perry would like to be invited to take part in Strictly.

The Daily Express reports that Grayson told the Radio Times: "I keep getting asked to do all those reality shows but I always say no. But I would love to do Strictly."

Grayson, who is famed for cross-dressing, would only do it in men's clothes, though: "I'd do it as a man, obviously."

Dave Wasn't Invited On Tour

Dave Myers has revealed that he was not approached to take part in the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour, which is currently touring the county.

He told the Radio Times“I wasn't blooming asked!”

Karen is dancing with Nicky Byrne on the tour: "I suspected they wanted someone young and good-looking who could dance."

Dave has very fond memories of the show, though: “Everyone goes on about the ‘Strictly family’. There wasn't a sense of competition, well, certainly by week seven when I left it hadn't kicked in, if it did kick in. You’re competing against yourself. It was lovely to be part of... Everyone on Strictly was on because they wanted to be. It wasn't because their careers were flagging, it certainly wasn't for the money, it was because everybody was very excited to be asked.”

Joe McElderry: "I'm A Bit Of A Frustrated Dancer"

X Factor winner Joe McElderry has revealed that he would like to have a go at Strictly Come Dancing.

The List reports that Joe told The Sun: "I would love to do something like Strictly Come Dancing. That would be so much fun. I'm a bit of a frustrated dancer, so that would be nice."
