How about Strictly Top Gear ...

Jeremy Clarkson
James May
Richard Hammond
And a mystery dancer dressed in White and wearing a crash helmet.

Add in a few ex presenters to make up the numbers.

Could be good for a laugh, who would go first ...

Or Strictly Doctor Who?

What about Angela Rippon? She did DOI a few years ago and was also in the newsreaders Strictly Does Children in Need, so she might be interested in doing Strictly.



Michael Ball would be more likely to be a guest judge if Len takes a week off because of Dancing with the Stars. He'd have to be better than Jennifer Grey was!



Richard Madeley was going to do it a few years ago and then pulled out at last minute. Hopefully, that means he won't be asked again.

Where has this "Matt replaced Richard" rumour come from?

I've only ever heard it on here and have no idea if it's true or not. Was it mentioned in the press?

These are the reports of Richard Madeley pulling out of Strictly:

None of these mention Matt being the one to replace Richard but I seem to remember it being said at some point or another that he was a late replacement for another celeb who had pulled out and so the assumption was made that he was replacing Richard Madeley.

All those are from 2009, though, and Matt was in 2010.

I'm not doubting he did pull out of both series, but I just wondered if we ever find out if it really was Matt B that was the last minute job.

You're right; my mistake

Hopefully not.

Hopefully not to which bit, Terry? Richard Madeley (I so agree!) or all three?

Following the weekends news, I'm going to say Rochelle Humes!
