Tom Hiddleston is reporedly set to take part in next year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing.
This comes after the Marvel actor was spotted in the studio audience of last week’s broadcast, alongside his fiancé, Zawe Ashton.
The 42-year-old has now reportedly expressed interest in the show, after asking to go backstage during Saturday night’s show.
A source has since told The Sun: “Tom is a huge fan of Strictly and asked to come backstage to last Saturday’s show.”
“He sat in the audience for the live show and beforehand asked for selfies with all of the pros.”
“He told producers he’d love to be on it so the hope is that next year, he’ll be the big-name signing.”

“He also met Kate Middleton and Prince George who were also backstage, and had an amazing evening.”
It’s no secret that Tom is a major Strictly fan, as he gushed about this year’s line-up to Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 show last week.
“It’s been difficult to determine who is going to go all the way this year,” Tom told Zoe. “I think Ellie [Leach] is maybe the most improved. She’s extraordinary, pretty amazing.”
Taking to X to point out that Tom was in the audience of last week’s show, one user penned: “Tom Hiddleston is in the audience!!!!! Get him on the next series!“
Meanwhile, another penned: “Is anybody else seeing Tom Hiddleston in the audience at strictly because I’m giddy watching tonight.”
