Tony Cowell, brother of the famous Simon Cowell is said to be considering going head to head with his brother next autumn by appearing on Strictly Come dancing.

The two shows compete for viewers each Saturday night and this year we may just have a Cowell on each channel.

A source told TV Biz: “It’s early days but Tony’s been in touch and producers are keen. The Cowell brothers going head-to-head would make great Saturday night telly.

“There’s always been a rivalry between Strictly and X Factor and this would take that up a notch.”
