Stacey Solomon 'approached to star on Strictly' after admitting to being 'obsessed' with the show - while new hunky Italian dancer is brought in to replace Giovanni Pernice after scandal


Stacey Solomon has reportedly been approached by BBC bosses to star on this year's series of Strictly after she previously admitted she is 'obsessed' with the show.

The mother-of-five has a strong social media fanbase, with fans following every move of her family life with her husband Joe Swash and children Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two. A source told The Sun that Simone blew bosses away with his audition and he is used to the Strictly set up after previously starring as a pro on the Belgian, Italian and Irish versions of the series. They will be joined by Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Nancy Xu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola who will all take to the floor once more alongside two new stars, who will be announced closer to the time.
