Rebecca Adlington also wants to do Strictly.

I always watch it anyway. It's a genuine talent show, not dolled-up karaoke.

If they asked around, they could possibly do an entirely Olympic series. Good way to piggyback on the success of the Games.

Good idea. Who to include? Denise Lewis, Jess Ennis, Victoria Pendleton, Laura Trott, Rebecca Adlington, Kelly Holmes, Nicola Adams, Jade Jones, Helen Glover, Katherine Copeland, Lizzie Armistead, Laura Robson, Anna Watkins and Christine Ohuruogu. And all the hockey team...

The equestrianists can only do it if they dance on the horsies.

Oh and Amy Williams.

I'd like to see Paloma Faith and Naga Munchetty have a go.

Amongst the men, there's always a not-very-natural-dancer ex sportsman in the cast, so I think it must be Mark Lawrenson's turn.

Paul Sculthorpe or Brian Carney anyone?

It would be a bit unfair on the other contestants if Paloma Faith was given a go being an ex professional dancer.

She is currently running round Scandinavia with lots of women in tight fighting tops and short shorts.

Frankly, that's enough even for me.

Alright, I'll swap her for Carol Kirkwood.

We could have the Sky v BBC dance-off ... Angela Powers v Tanya Arnold. My money's on Ange.

Maybe they should add some cleavage and sequins to their kit? Actually, that sounds like the LFL.

I'd take great pleasure in spending hours watching a partnership between Jessica Ennis and that Flavia from Strictly. Great pleasure.

As far as the dancing goes though, not fussed about who she partners with.

Money can't buy happiness... but it can buy bacon which is close enough.

From the Daily Mail:


Former This Morning host Fern Britton has signed up, as has BBC news reader Sian Williams.
Ex-England cricketer Michael Vaughan is also mooted to be on the line-up
