Strictly Come Dancing is reportedly getting a larger budget for next year’s series.

The BBC dance show saw a drop in its ratings this year and hopes to attract some bigger names next year to woo audiences back.

A source told The Sun: “It didn’t take a genius to see the show had a rather C-list lineup this year.

“We wanted bigger names but our hands were tied because of the cash. At the start of the process, there is always a wish list.

“If we get more cash next year – and it looks a distinct possibility – then we can get better names.”
