Strictly Come Dancing bosses have reportedly signed up Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing to appear on this year's series of the hit BBC1 dance show. It comes after the show reportedly BANNED reality TV stars from featuring on the show.
A source told The Sun, “They said previously that low-rent reality stars like Jamie would not be allowed on the show but things now seem to have changed.
“There’s only so many famous faces out there so clearly they have decided enough is enough and have had to retreat a bit in order to get enough celebs for this year".
But Jamie, who was also rumoured to be a contestant on this year's series of I'm A Celebrity, might not be the only reality star joining him on the show, as Love Island 2017 winner Amber Davies has also been tipped to appear on the show.
The West End performer, who is currently starring in 9 To 5: The Musical at The Savoy Theatre in London, previously told ITV's Lorraine that she'd seen her name linked to the show, adding, "I've seen this in the media, I'd love to do it".
However, she went on to say, "It's definitely not on the table. Maybe in a couple of years!".
