ok.co.ukBBC bosses are reportedly lining up rugby star Danny Cipriani for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. The rugby player already dazzled on the dancefloor last year for a special episode, but is said to be meeting with the BBC for talks about the upcoming series.The retired player is due to fly in from the US — where he is now based — to discuss the project.
A source told The Sun: “Danny proved he had the moves in the one-off special and Strictly would love to have him back. “It was an experience he enjoyed and Danny’s family and friends have been pushing him to say yes. “Danny’s got Bear Hunt on Netflix out next year so he’s free and able to take part.
