The Apprentice's Alex Wotherspoon to star in Strictly Come Dancing?

Businessman in talks with BBC bosses about show

Monday, 4 August 2008

Alex Wotherspoon is being lined up to star in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Apprentice finalist, 24, was runner-up to Lee McQueen, 30, in the BBC show earlier this year.

And insiders say he's in talks with TV bosses about appearing on the hit ballroom programme.

‘Alex was really popular on The Apprentice and has a massive fan base,’ a source tells the Sunday People.

‘He is a good-looking guy and execs feel he’s exactly right for strictly. There’s no doubt he’ll appeal to women viewers.

'The Beeb are pulling out all the stops to make this the best series ever.'

Zara Phillips, 27, is also rumoured to be appearing on the show.

Alex's rep confirmed he was considering 'lots of exciting offers'.
