Latest Rumours: Ross Kemp And Mollie King

Former EastEnders actor Ross Kemp and Saturdays singer Mollie King are the latest names to be linked to Strictly.

The Daily Express reports that Ross hinted that he might do Strictly in a interview with the Daily Star. He said: “I love Strictly Come Dancing. I have been asked before. I was going to do it. Then I got home from Camp Bastion after being shot at and thought, ‘No, don’t be so silly’".

But now he may be reconsidering: “I’ll never say never to anything... You know what, in life, particularly if you work in television, who knows? Never rule out anything!”

The Sun reports that Mollie King has already signed up: “Mollie is all signed up and will be this year’s Strictly babe. She’s a talented performer because of all her experience with The Saturdays and her solo career — so she’s someone who is very likely to make it to the final rounds. Producers loved the sex appeal and performance skills of Daisy [Lowe] last year and believe Mollie offers the same. She’s also very well connected and has a lot of celebrity friends who will attend filming each week.”

The first participant in Strictly 2017 will reportedly be announced tomorrow.
