Ian Waite: "I'd Probably Say Yes"

Ian Waite would "probably say yes" if he was asked to return to the main series of Strictly.

Ian, who is currently performing on The People's Strictly For Comic Relief, told DigitalSpy: "I absolutely love the show, and obviously I've been on It Takes Two for the last four years. And it's always really lovely to come back and do the specials - yes, you know what, if they asked me, I'd probably say yes. But I love being connected with the show and doing the specials and doing It Takes Two and presenting, so I do so much for Strictly at the moment. It's lovely. I love it."

Come on BBC, invite him back.

Zoe Happy On It Takes Two

Zoe Ball has stated that, while she enjoyed standing in for Claudia on Strictly, she's not after a permanent gig. But she would step again if duty called.

ITV reports that Zoe said at the Mum Of The Year Awards: "It was a strange time because obviously it was in the worst circumstances that I stood in for Claudia, but it turned out okay and everyone was very welcoming. It was great to be able to do that for a mate and say: 'Don't worry, I'll be there.' It was great fun and it was wonderful to wear a big frock and Tess was so supportive. But I think It Takes Two is my home, and Tess and Clauds are the main hosts. But they know I am on call should they need me at any time. Anyway, I'm much more comfortable in trousers."

James Jordan: ''I'm Definitely Feeling Broody"

Former Strictly pro James Jordan has revealed that he is feeling broody and would love to have children.

James told Hello!: ''I'm definitely feeling broody. We'd love to have kids at some point. The dream number would be two because when you've got more than two children, things like hotel rooms and cars can be a bit more difficult. Twins would be great, a boy and girl in one go!''
