Strictly politics for Sergeant
Having taken his bow from Strictly Come Dancing, it seems BBC bosses are pulling out all the stops to bring John Sergeant back to our screens.
But the “dancing pig” will be going back to the day job rather than reviving his rumba.
Corporation insiders say the former political editor – who famously quit the dancing contest where he was a huge favourite with viewers despite being a less than gifted hoofer – is to be offered a new documentary show focusing on British prime ministers through the ages.
“John’s obviously funny as well as being hugely informed on politics,” explains a Beeb mole.“The hope is he will film it in the new year.”
