BBC want a star of hit series The Traitors to compete on Strictly — with duped Mollie Pearce the frontrunner.

Winner Harry Clark or dastardly double-crosser Paul Gorton could also dazzle on the dancefloor.

Mollie, 22, a Faithful tasked with spotting and eliminating the Traitors, won viewers’ hearts when she trusted Harry too much and lost out on a share of the £95,000 jackpot.

Signing for Strictly could be seen as perfect revenge for her.

A TV insider said: “Strictly is still four months away and there’s still so much to play for, but The Traitors are obviously at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

“It would also be a nice tie-in given both shows are hosted by Claudia Winkleman.

“Mollie’s presence would also be a hugely positive moment of representation for people, like her, who have a disability.

“But, just as with The Traitors, she first has to fend off the competition from rivals Paul and Harry.”

Other names in talks for this year’s Strictly are said to be Olympic cycle star Laura Kenny, Gladiators’ hunk Nitro, boxer Tommy Fury and Bank of Dave star, Dave Fishwick.

The BBC has yet to confirm the list pro dancers despite it usually being released in May.

Strictly bosses are embroiled in an investigation into claims made against Italian Giovanni Pernice regarding his behaviour towards some celebrity partners.

He denies any wrongdoing.

A Strictly spokesman said of the Traitors trio: “We do not comment on speculation.”
