BBC bosses are “open to” allowing same-sex couples on the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing, according to reports.
Former Strictly contestants Ranj Singh and Reverend Richard Coles have previously criticised the show’s rules against having same-sex couples.
On the Australian version of Strictly this year, drag performer Courtney Act danced as a woman and earned a place in the final.
Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood has long campaigned for a change in the rules to allow contestants to be paired up with professional dancers of the same gender.
