Strictly Come Dancing bosses approach billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone to appear on this year’s show
STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses have approached billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone to offer her a role on this year’s show.
The super-rich reality star, daughter of Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone, is understood to have turned down approaches in the past because of her young daughter — but has now told producers she is keen.
Glamorous Tamara, 34, married to businessman Jay Rutland, and her sister Petra are expected to inherit their father’s fortune, estimated in the region of £2.2billion.
A TV insider said: “Tamara has been on producers’ lists before, but she wasn’t in a position to do it.
“Now her daughter is older she feels it’s something she would love to do.
“She looks great and is from a fascinating background.

“She would undoubtedly be the richest person they’ve ever had on the show by a country mile.”
The socialite has already invited cameras into her home for reality series Tamara’s World.
Others already approached for this year’s competition include radio supremo Chris Evans, comic Alan Carr and newsreader Huw Edwards.
