Strictly bosses keen to sign Christmas winner Anne-Marie for 2022 series

Strictly bosses are reportedly keen to sign up singer Anne-Marie for the full 2022 series after winning the Christmas special.

The Voice star, 30, was partnered with professional dancer Graziano Di Prima during Saturday night's episode and performed a Cha Cha Cha to festive track Feliz Navidad.

Anne-Marie had been up against fellow celebs Moira Stewart, Adrian Chiles, Mel Giedroyc, Fred Sirieux, Jay Blades and Adrian Chiles in a bid to win the festive special.

After receiving a perfect score and impressing the audience, Anne-Marie and Graziano were declared the champions.

And bosses are said to be desperate for the singer to compete for the Glitterball.

A source told The Sun : "Bosses would love her to do a main series but they know how busy her schedule is.”

It comes after fans begged for the pop star to step back onto the dance floor for the main series.

One wrote: "Anne-Marie got four 10s. She definitely needs to be on the main show #strictly #scd."

"Can we get @AnneMarie on the full series please! #Strictly," another added, as a third shared: "Anne-Marie is another one they should try and get for a full series if they can. #Strictly."

A fourth wrote: "Anne-Marie needs to do the main show one year! #Strictly."

"OK, now I really need to see @AnneMarie on a full series of #strictly I think we would see some amazing dances!" a fifth penned, calling for the singer to go on the show again.

Other fans were keen to see Fred Sirieix also take part in a full series, after he scored 38 points with an impressive Quickstep to Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin’ Stevens.

"Would have loved to see Fred and Anne-Marie on the full Strictly .. #strictlycomedancing #Strictly," one wrote.
