Princess Anne wants to appear on Strictly Come Dancing according to professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
The Princess Royal, 73, is apparently a fan of Strictly and told Nadiya, 34, that she “wants to be on the show” when the pair met at a ballet event last month.
Additionally, professional dancer Nadiya – who joined Strictly in 2017 and over the years has been linked to soap star Davood Ghadami, footballer David James and Blue’s Lee Ryan – will suggest the senior royal to producers.
“She’s a fan of Strictly and she wants to be on the show – she told me,” Nadiya revealed of Princess Anne while speaking to The Sun.
“She said that,” she confirmed, continuing: “I think she would be good – there’s a lot of personality there, isn’t there?”
The star added that she put in a good word for Anne to producers, something she said professional dancers often do.
“We have this privilege, and through the show we find ourselves in a circle with celebrities who love Strictly,” she said.
“So every time we talk with producers, I say, “What about this person?”, or “What about this person?”
The dancer explained how the royal family strictly “loves” and watches him “all the time”.
It comes after the Queen announced she was one of Strictly’s “biggest fans” after star Johannes Radebe gave her a pair of steel-shod shoes at an event in Cambridge in February.
Princess Anne isn’t the only royal interested in trying to win the glitter balloon trophy, as professional dancer Johannes Radebe revealed. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, also expressed her desire to take part in the dance competition.
He said: “She would love the opportunity to [compete in Strictly Come Dancing] but she obviously can’t. She told me personally.
There are already rumors about who could appear in the next season of Strictly Come Dancing.
Hannah Waddingham, Nicola Peltz, Sophie Morgan, Jill Scott and Phillip Schofield are all rumored to be taking part in the 2024 season of the show.
This year will mark 20 years since Strictly Come Dancing arrived on TV screens.
