Strictly Come Dancing is reportedly in discussions with two 'massive A-list stars' for its upcoming 2020 series, according to a source. The insider claimed that the celebrities, whom bosses have been trying to sign for years, are now considering joining due to lockdown-related cancellations of films, TV shows, tours and theatre bookings.
'When packed schedules might have stood in the way before, now a lot of stars' calendars have opened right up,' the source told The Sun. Strictly is likely to go ahead this autumn, offering a 'big payday' and a prestigious platform.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that celebrities and professional dancers may be placed in self-isolation together for rehearsals to minimise health risks. 'The stars would be put into isolation with their pro partners over a week before the start of the series,' a source said.
Head judge Shirley Ballas has confirmed that producers are doing everything possible to ensure the show airs this year. The BBC has not yet commented on the reports.
