CNN: No Quest for 'Dancing'

Richard Quest will not be taking part in the next run of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, CNN told DS today.

A spokesperson for the network said that rumours of Business Traveller host Quest appearing in the US version of Strictly Come Dancing were "not true at all".

The rumours apparently got started when CNN recently uploaded a video of Quest dancing at a Dancing with the Stars tour event in Milwaukee for the January episode of his feature programme, Quest. However, the network said he will not be taking part in season five of the ABC show.

Other names touted for Dancing's next season include Aaron Carter and Tori Spelling; however, the actual list of participants will be confirmed tomorrow morning on ABC's Good Morning America.
