Strictly bosses may offer Anton Du Beke a “sweetener” to get him to return to the show as a professional dancer, it has been reported.
The star was a dancer on the BBC ballroom contest for years but had been hankering after a judging slot.
He got his shot when Bruno Tonioli pulled out of this year’s series, and has been a huge hit.

Bruno pulled out because COVID restrictions meant it would be too difficult for him to jet back and forth between the UK and the US, where he is a judge on Dancing With The Stars.
He is expected to return to the series, meaning Anton would lose his seat on the panel.
However, bosses are keen to keep Anton and The Sun says he may be offered a pay rise to be a pro dancer again.

“The last thing bosses want is to lose him if they do welcome Bruno back,” a source told the publication.
