The Beeb’s hugely popular Strictly Come Dancing show looks set to get some right royal blood on board.
Rumour has it that Princess Zara Phillips is being targeted to appear on the show with rugby star boyfriend Mike Tindall not far behind.
The show is due to return to our screens in the autumn and there’s already been discussion over whether long time host Brucie will be back to present the next series. He apparently has no intentions of hanging up his dancing shoes just yet.
Both sporting competitiors themselves, the equestrian princess and England rugby player boyfriend Mike should have no problems keeping up; but if chosen, will the rugger star have problems with his graceful moves like some of his predecessors?
The only guest couple to previously feature were series five contenders - rugby star Kenny Logan and TV sports presenter Gaby Logan.
Mis-Teeq singer Alesha Dixon waltzed away with the converted trophy in December 2007.
As an ongoing production the BBC are already talking to other possible star guests, but they're keeping their cards close to their chest on this one.
