Simon Cowell to do Strictly Come Dancing
Friday, 4 April 2008
Simon Cowell is set to appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing' as a stand-in judge.
'The X Factor' judge could be swapping shows with regular 'Dancing...' judge Bruno Tonioli for British charity 'Children in Need'.
Simon will cast his eye over celebrity dancers on the BBC One programme, while Bruno will listen to pop hopefuls on the ITV series.
Bruno said: "We like a big of a giggle - there is no competition between us.
"Simon has a lot of ideas for a new TV show and we were discussing swapping jobs - I'll do 'The X Factor' and he will do 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
"It would be for charity - perhaps 'Children in Need'. It would be funny!"
Bruno also judges the US version of the hit ballroom show, 'Dancing with the Stars', but hasn't yet signed his contract for the next series.
He said: "I have been in America but I haven't even seen the contract yet. But of course I want to come back, I love that show!"
