Strictly in ‘talks with the Queen’s son – and a very posh reality star’ for new series
THE Queen’s son is reportedly in line to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Camilla Parker Bowles’ son, Tom, is said to be in talks to compete on the BBC dancing competition, according to the Mirror.
Tom, 50, is a food writer and restaurant critic and has made regular appearances on MasterChef as a judge.
A source said: “Top of their wishlist is MasterChef star Tom. His name was also sounded-out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they’ll have better luck this year.
“It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?”
Made In Chelsea star and I’m A Celebrity winner Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo is also on the dance show’s radar.
A source told The Sun: “Georgia is in talks to join – she would bring glamour, poise and fun to the show.
“She’s been a huge hit on all the telly shows she’s done and would be a popular contestant on Strictly.”
A celebrity confirmed for this year’s series is Apprentice star Thomas Skinner.
The Cockney entrepreneur, 34 — known for his catchphrase “Bosh!” — was first introduced to viewers on Lord Alan Sugar’s show in 2019.
A source said on Friday: “Thomas hasn’t any dancing experience, but he’s up for giving the competition his best shot.
“Strictly bosses are hoping he’ll get the dads watching. He has a massive following, especially with working-class blokes.
“He’s a huge football fan and enjoys pies and gravy. He’s not a luvvie at all.
“He’s bound to get his catchphrase ‘Bosh’ on to the show, too.”
Thomas, who has three kids with wife Sinéad, was asked previously about appearing on the BBC1 dance show.
He said: “My mum loves it, she’d love me to do that.”
And he recently underwent a body transformation, shedding weight and bulking up in the gym.
