Bosses of the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing are hoping that it will be third time lucky as they look to sign Steph McGovern for this year’s show.
The Beeb is reportedly poised to make a further approach for the presenter of Channel 4 ’s Packed Lunch despite twice being snubbed, and if they land their star she will follow in the footsteps of her Packed Lunch co-star, chef John Whaite, who caused a sensation on last year’s Strictly through his same-sex pairing with pro Johannes Radebe.
A TV insider told The Sun : “Steph has the personality and profile which makes her a perfect choice in the eyes of Strictly producers. They completely understood why she’s had to say no in the past. She was just establishing Packed Lunch on Channel 4 and wanted to give that her complete attention.
