Dancing with the Stars judge Brian Redmond admitted he’d love to bag a spot on the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing panel.
As the future of RTE’s DWTS is left up in the air with no confirmation on whether the show will return, talks are taking place within the BBC this week to replace UK Strictly judge Darcey Bussell.
When asked whether he would consider moving across the pond for the position, Brian told Irish Daily Mirror: “You never know.
“I haven’t been invited over (for a screen test).
“We did do a screen test for Len but there is a big difference replacing a 70-year-old ballroom guy compared to a prima ballerina but we will wait and see.”

The 42-year-old Dubliner, who has been an integral part of the Irish judging panel for the past three years, added that he would be mad not to consider the role.
He told: “Oh yea, of course. It’d be interesting.
“Now, it would be something I would have to consider seriously with commitments with family and work. It would be a different level of commitment entirely compared to Dancing With The Stars.
“It would be an opportunity that you would be mad not to consider.”
However, speaking last week at the Peter Mark VIP Style Awards, Brian said he see’s no reason why the hit dance contest won’t return to RTE next year.
He said: “It is usually around June or July when everything gets wrapped up for the RTE Autumn programme but I’d obviously be hopefully, I cannot see any legitimate reason as to why it wouldn’t be back.”

In the meantime, the multi-award-winning dance professional has his eyes set on a different show, admitting that he’d love to have a go at the new RTE Special Forces programme.
Asked if he dabble at any reality TV, he said: “Would I do reality TV? I think it depends on the context.
“I’ve been watching the SAS programme that they are running recently and I actually said it to Jen [his wife] recently that i would love to that. She looked at me and laughed.
“Physically I wouldn’t be up for that kind of thing but yeah, I would definitely be interested in.
“It would have to be something I wanted to do. I love cooking and stuff as well.
“It would have to be something fun to do.”
