Cheryl Cole’s dancer friend Derek Hough is rumoured to be packing up his US  bags and heading over to good old Blighty for a stint on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing this year.

Derek - who found fame after being linked to Cheryl following her split from Ashley Cole earlier this year - appeared in Cheryl’s Parachute video and was also papped leaving her LA hotel after a night in with the star.

Whilst Derek is currently busy shaking hips with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger on Dancing With The Stars,  it’s thought that he’s keen to make the move to Strictly… but that would mean going head-to-head with Chreyl in the rating battle.

Nevermind eh? At least we can video Derek for watching post-X Factor.
