According to reports, the BBC is interested in having Danny Cipriani as a contestant on the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing. The former England rugby player caught the attention of producers when he appeared on last year's Christmas special with professional dancer Jowita Przystal. The duo received a high score of 37 out of 40, impressing the show's bosses.
Now, they are hoping to convince Danny to return to the dancefloor later this year. Despite currently residing in the US, Danny has agreed to fly over to the UK for negotiations. A source revealed, "Danny showed off his moves on the special and Strictly would love to have him back. It was an experience he enjoyed and his family and friends have been encouraging him to say yes."

It seems like Danny's schedule is clear for the show as he has a Netflix project, Bear Hunt, coming out next year. He will be returning to the UK for a face-to-face meeting to finalize the deal.
Last year's Christmas special also featured Nicola Roberts, who impressed the audience with her dancing skills. Rumors are circulating that she may also make a return to the show. An insider revealed, "Nicola is a beautiful dancer with incredible musicality. She was fantastic on the special and her waltz was breathtaking. The show would love to have her back and the offer is on the table."
Apart from Danny and Nicola, it is believed that Homes Under The Hammer host Martin Roberts has also been approached for the new season. According to a source, "Martin is just waiting to sign his contract. He's thrilled at the opportunity and it will be a dream come true for him and the viewers."
Martin himself hinted at the possibility of him joining the cast at the recent TRIC awards. He joked about needing to get fit for the show, saying, "I'm like a Ninja Mutant Hero Turtle - I just eat pizzas. But I should worry about what I eat because I had a health scare. If I get this TV show later in the year, I'll have to get super fit."
However, a BBC spokesperson declined to confirm any casting rumors and simply stated, "We don't comment on speculation."
