Nicole Scherzinger for Strictly Come Dancing?

Is the ex-Pussycat Doll is being lined up to replace Alesha Dixon on Strictly Come Dancing?

Show bosses are reportedly hoping to poach Nicole Scherzinger - who won Dancing With The Stars, the American version of the series, in 2010 - from Simon Cowell, after he lured former panelist Alesha Dixon to Britain's Got Talent with a lucrative pay packet.

An insider told the Daily Star: "Nicole is young, sexy and knows what she's talking about. Having already won the US dance show, her credentials are good. And taking her off Simon would be great .

"Alesha leaving could end up being a great move for the show."

However, Nicole isn't the only star in the running to take over the Strictly judging role.

Previous winner Kara Tointon - who is dating professional dancer Artem Chingvintsev - is currently favourite to replace Alesha, while Karen Hardy, a consultant on the show, is also said to be keen to bag the job.

Meanwhile, Arlene Phillips - who was axed from Strictly in 2009 to make way for Alesha - has reportedly been considered for a return to the panel alongside Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood.

Writing on her twitter page, she told fans: "Gosh twitter followers and friends. I am overwhelmed by your incredible tweets campaigns and facebook messages so much love and thanks. (sic)"
