Broadcaster and journalist Piers Morgan has joked that he’ll “save the day” and compete in the next series of BBC ’s dance contest Strictly Come Dancing . The popular show has been at the centre of a media storm in recent weeks over the professional dancers’ conduct. Wading into the situation, Piers wrote on X (formerly Twitter ): “Memo to Strictly Come Dancing execs: given the snowflake virus is now threatening your sparkly show’s existence, I’m prepared to save the day by being a contestant but only on one condition: that whoever trains me is so tough, brutal and uncompromising that I win.
” Over the years Piers has been rumoured to take part in Strictly numerous times. He’s reportedly rejected offers to take part in the past.

“That will be one hell of a season,” wrote one person. A second said: “He wouldn’t last a week. He couldn’t sort the weather man on GMB out,” referencing Piers’ well publicised row with Alex Berensford which ultimately led to him leaving Good Morning Britain.
A third commented: “Yes!!! Make it happen!” The Strictly controversy has already seen two professional dancers dropped from the competition. The first of which was Giovanni Pernice.
