profile and would love to see her fronting shows in the style of Louis Theroux. They know other channels will be watching and they’re bound to be thinking of Breakfast host Susanna Reid – who defected to ITV after becoming Strictly runner-up in 2013. Strictly bosses are also keen on Stacey, so she could be offered a role on spin-off show It Takes Two. A source said: “Bosses are really impressed with the way she has been received by the public thanks to her down-toearth, bubbly nature. “They know other broadcasters will have their eye on her so are keen to keep her at the Beeb. They don’t want to lose her to a competitor – like what happened with Susanna Reid.” Stacey, 31, and dance partner Kevin Clifton, 36, performed three dances in last night’s final to scoop the Glitterball. Before the showdown with fellow finalists Joe Sugg, Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer, Stacey hinted she would enjoy doing a couple of TV jobs. She said: “I’m a documentary maker who makes serious programmes – but also I’m a young girl who enjoys the entertainment side of it.” janine.yaqoob@mirror.co.uk STRICTLY IN NUMBERS
average viewing figures for this series THE past three years have been a challenge because my contestants had no dance experience. Working with somebody who has never danced a step, all the way through to putting it into these fantastic routines – that is great. Yes, it is a dance show, but it is an entertainment show. It’s always entertaining to have good people and to have bad people. Lauren didn’t have any experience. As much as you create routines, you are inspiring so many people. At the end of the day, it comes down to the public – and they are going to make the decision as to who is going to win. So whether you have got dancing experience or not, this show is about showing off the best things about people. AJ stars in the Get On The Floor!
