Comedian Jon Richardson is reportedly in the frame to appear on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

Comedian Jon Richardson is reportedly an early contender to appear in this year's edition of Strictly Come Dancing.

The 42-year-old is a regular on the comedy panel circuit and was recently announced as a cast member on school drama Waterloo Road.

A source told The Sun: "Jon would be a dream signing for Strictly. He's a huge name, he's starring in one of the BBC's biggest dramas and he's unlikely to cause any major headaches curse-wise because he's single now.

"The BBC loves cross promotion - it's what they did with Adam Thomas who's also on Waterloo Road.

"Strictly really needs a strong year without any scandal and Jon would be ideal for that."

The new series of Strictly - the 23rd - is due to begin on BBC One this September.
