Alan Titchmarsh is reportedly being lined up to star in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.

According to the News of the World, the presenter is now considering taking part in the show after turning down offers in previous years.

A source said: "The BBC is desperate to get Alan on board for this year's show, and will be talking to him again. In previous discussions he confessed he can't dance but that didn't stop Ann becoming a very popular contestant.

"Alan has the credentials to go even further. As well as being a clodhopper on the dance floor, he's suave, funny and handsome - and housewives will vote for him in droves."

Titchmarsh said: "I don't plan on retiring but I would like to ease up a bit. I'd love to go on Strictly. I'm planning on becoming the next John Sergeant or Ann Widdecombe."
