Doherty set for 'Strictly' role

Paddy Doherty is being lined up to star in 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 53-year-old traveller - best known for appearing in 'My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings' - recently took a salsa lesson in Spain while filming a new show for Channel 5 and despite having no rhythm, BBC bosses are desperate for him to join the programme this autumn.
