Drag artist Tayce is reportedly wanted for the full series of Strictly Come Dancing after her victory in the Christmas special.

Tayce is reportedly in the frame for a place in the lineup for the next full series of Strictly Come Dancing following her victory in this year's Christmas special.

The RuPaul's Drag Race UK alumnus lifted the festive glitterball after earning a perfect score from the judges for her Cha-Cha routine with professional partner Kai Widdrington in the episode, which was broadcast on Christmas Day.

According to The Sun, producers have now initiated talks with Tayce - Strictly's first ever drag act - about appearing on the main show next year.

A source said: "Strictly have long wanted a drag artist on the show and Tayce has exceeded everyone's expectations. She was an incredible competitor and the viewers clearly loved her.

"Tayce is a shoo-in for the main show in the autumn now and will be approached in the New Year about taking part.

"Strictly bosses are keen to get her on board as they start planning for the next show."

This year's series concluded earlier this month with comedian Chris McCausland and partner Dianne Buswell being named champions.
