Paul O’Grady is being lined up to host Strictly Come Dancing.

BBC bosses want him to take over from Bruce Forsyth, 80, who is expected to quit after the next series.

Paul, 52, is said to be leading the pack of possible contenders.

‘Everyone round here knows Brucie can’t go on forever,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘Even he’s started dropping hints that the next series might be his last. Paul is a definite favourite and would be brilliant.’

I am sure he will do a great job.

[LostVoodoo]

yes Paul would be good because he'd appreciate the old-school style but still have that tongue in cheek humour the show needs.

although i don't want Brucie to go!

[Abigail]

I can't stand him, his voice gets on my nerves. Channel four can keep him.

[Chloe O'brien]

Get Vernon Kay to do it with Tess, Husband and Wife would make a great team.

[Perdita]

I just find both of them a bit sickly sweet, if you know what I mean? At least O'Grady makes slightly controversial statements ever so often, Vernon and missus never, they would not dare

[Abigail]

I'd take Vernon over Paul any day.

Perdy what's wrong with Vernon he's a lovley young lad and Tess is a great presenter as well.

[Perdita]

I just find them too sweet, the pair of them, can't really put my finger on it, I used to like Vernon when he first appeared on TV but now he is on so often, I have gone off him. :sad:

[Abbie]

No one will ever be as good as Bruce
