The Queen’s son is reportedly in talks to compete on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Tom Parker Bowles, a celebrated food writer, restaurant critic, and regular on BBC’s MasterChef, is poised to appear on the flagship BBC dance show, according to the Mirror.
Confirmed for the upcoming series is Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, while former I’m A Celebrity winner Georgia "Toff" Toffolo is also said to be in line to take part.
A source said: “Top of their wish list is MasterChef star Tom. His name was also sounded-out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they’ll have better luck this year.
“It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?”
Tom is known for his award-winning food writing, cookbooks, and regular appearances on TV cookery shows.
Meanwhile, former Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo, who won I’m a Celebrity in 2017, is also reportedly speaking with BBC bosses about taking to the Strictly dance floor this year.
A source told The Sun: “Georgia is in talks to join – she would bring glamour, poise and fun to the show.
“She’s been a huge hit on all the telly shows she’s done and would be a popular contestant on Strictly.”
So far, businessman Thomas Skinner — known for his Cockney accent and "bosh" catchphrase — is the only celebrity confirmed for the forthcoming series.
When previously asked about appearing on the show, he said: “My mum loves it, she’d love me to do that.”
Despite having no professional dancing experience, Thomas is reportedly keen to give the competition his best effort.
“Strictly bosses are hoping he’ll get the dads watching,” a source said on Friday. “He has a massive following, especially with working-class blokes.
“He’s a huge football fan and enjoys pies and gravy. He’s not a luvvie at all.
“He’s bound to get his catchphrase ‘Bosh’ on to the show, too.”
The father-of-three recently underwent a body transformation, shedding weight and hitting the gym to bulk up.
Two new professional dancers will also join the show this year, with the BBC teasing an official announcement closer to the series launch.
