Strictly Come Dancing is rumoured to have secured a well known British icon for the 2024 line-up of the BBC show which will return later this year.
Even though the official list isn't out yet, whispers suggest businessman David Fishwick could be ready to take the dance floor later this year.
The businessman is said to have been approached by Strictly bosses and told his pals he's signed up for the show.
David amassed his wealth from the minibus selling business before establishing his own local bank lending his funds in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
Burnley Savings and Loans was set up the same year and extended a helping hand to residents of the Lancashire town struggling to secure loans due to the banking meltdown, the Mirror reports.
The world came to know more about David through Netflixs 'Bank of Dave' and a Channel 4 documentary and it looks like the CEO might now take up the challenge and step onto the dance floor.
A source told The Sun: "Strictly think his inspiring back story will win him new fans and shine a spotlight on the amazing work he has done for people and business in Lancashire.
"Dave has told his friends he has accepted and cannot wait to get started."
The insiders revealed this opportunity is a "dream come true" for Dave, saying: "He is a working-class man who did well for himself and decided to use his success to help others."
Notably, Dave commenced his minibus company after leaving school at 16 without any qualifications and then established Burnley Savings and Loans in 2011.
Netflix produced a film about his life last year, with Rory Kinnear portraying Dave and a sequel is already in the works for 2025.
