Royal party pal Guy Pelly is in talks with BBC bosses about competing on Strictly Come Dancing.

And Guy - a close friend of princes William and Harry - has told pals he is keen to sign up for the hit show when it returns in the autumn.

A bbc source said: "No one thought it would be possible to beat last year's line up of bona fide A-list stars like Kelly Brook and Penny Lancaster.

"But having a member of the royal inner circle on the bill for 2008 would be huge trump card.

"Guy would be a guaranteed ratings winner, especially if the princes make an appearance to support their pal."

In 2005, 25-year-old Guy - a marketing manager at royal haunt Mahiki - pulled out of I'm a Celebrity amid fears he could spill royal secrets.

The source added: "Strictly won't depend on him talking about Wills and Harry. He can just let his feet do the talking."
