Having to take every Saturday off isn't good for them”
Are you joking? Ball certainly isn't too busy. He even had his own cheap daily live ITV daytime chat show 2 years ago and he often fills in on R2
Strictly is the biggest entertainment show on tv, both would kill for the job and the money. Going by Barrowman's regular appearances on QVC, the bit part roles certainly aren't paying much. Which is why he is constantly trying to get the BBC to do another series of Torchwood.

Absolute buttons in comparison to TV presenting pay.
Neither will get the job anyway.
