Russell Grant offered a job
Russell Grant has posted on Twitter that he has been offered a contract by Strictly Come Dancing and says he is now looking at his schedule to see if he can do it... bit of a surprise! My gut feeling is that its probably a regular slot on It Takes Two or something, but who knows. Could he be hosting the next series? Or maybe he could be a judge!

If this is true, then for me, this programme is nearing its "sell by date."
That's the BBC all over, they can't leave things alone. It used to be a "must watch programme." For the last few years I recorded it, mostly to skip through the old codger's involvement, but last year, I just watched the interesting bits, that's the dancing. |

It'll be some It Takes Two/online thing. It won't be anything to do with the main show.

Considering people like Russell and Lisa weren't popular enough in the end to reach the final, I'm not sure where the BBC get the idea the public want to see them popping up on ITT etc. all the time. I'm curious to know where they do their audience research.
Then again, I suppose most of the people who did reach the finals now have better things to do career-wise than hang around the show all the time. |

Do people's horrors of past contestants who weren't particularly popular presenting extend to Zoe Ball?

If they want an enthusiastic trier to do some slots on ITT then I don't mind it being Russell Grant. There are worse people, as we all know.

There's sufficient " camp content," in this programme, already. |

Anything's possible, but he knows nothing about dancing so how could he realistically comment?

I like Russel Grant
I do feel somewhat sorry for him. If he had had the opportunity to do Strictly in the @80s, he could have lost weight, got fit and probably have done well. He has timing and a musical sense and an ability to perform. As it is he obviously had some bad years before Strictly He had a great relationship with Flavia and Joanne I think he he truly loves and cares for the program. Yes he can come over as a bit needy but I respect why that can be I see no reason why he could not become an asset, if managed correctly He is friendly and supportive to others and a team player |
