After monumentally losing this years ratings battle with ITV’s The X Factor, Strictly come Dancing are already planning on how to improve next years series.

One idea is to draft in some sexier professional dancers and show bosses are reportedly hoping to recruit American Dancing With The Stars dancer Derek Hough.

A Strictly source told The News Of The World: “They’ll pair him with a hot female celeb to make sparks fly. The veterans like Brendan Cole and James Jordan will feel very threatened.”
