Josie Gibson on Would I Lie To You? S19 / BBC
This Morning host Josie Gibson is reportedly in the frame to take part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The show is undergoing a major overhaul this year, with new hosts taking over from Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, as well as a new batch of professional dancers joining the ensemble.
Producers are also hard at work assembling the celebrity lineup, and according to The Sun, former Big Brother winner Gibson, 41, is in “advanced talks” about participating.
“Josie has been on the BBC’s radar for a while and they’ve not given up their pursuit,” a source told the newspaper. “They’re hoping this year is the year, and talks are progressing well.
“Bosses are convinced her down-to-earth charm will be the boost this year’s new-look show needs. Warm and engaging, she’s just what they require right now and will be a sure-fire hit with fans.”
The new series is due to begin in September.
