Strictly Come Dancing is set to welcome a rugby hunk into the ballroom, it’s claimed.
Rugby hunk Danny Cipriani is reportedly being eyed up by BBC bosses for a stint on the popular dancing show. It would mean the former England fly-half could be swapping scrums for salsa routines on the next series.
But it would be the first time the 36-year-old sportsman has set foot on the dancefloor in front of the judges. Danny appeared on last year’s Christmas special, where he and pro Jowita Przystal proved they were a force to be reckoned with.

It’s clear the pair worked well as a team. They wowed the judges with their Cha-Cha and scored 37 out 40 points.
And fans could see him waltz back onto their screens on this year’s series, according to The Sun. A source told the publication: “Danny proved he had the moves in the one-off special and Strictly would love to have him back.
“It was an experience he enjoyed and Danny’s family and friends have been pushing him to say yes. Danny’s got Bear Hunt on Netflix out next year so he’s free and able to take part. He’s coming back to the UK for a face-to-face meeting.”

Danny previously said of Jowita: “It’s a blessing and to step into Jowita’s world, and for her to teach me some special moves, but also the humility and the grace that she works under. It’s the essence of who she is, while being an absolute genius at what she does, it’s so nice to be around.

He added: “She’s world class, but so humble.” Revealing how much he enjoyed dancing, he said: “I enjoy the way that I move to the beat of the music. It makes me feel good.”
Danny has been living in America with his girlfriend, actress AnnaLynne McCord, since his split from wife Victoria Rose last November. Jowita had a rumoured romance with Giovanni Pernice, who has now left the show.
A BBC spokesperson told The Sun: “We don’t comment on speculation.” Daily Star has contacted the BBC for comment.
