He’s pretty much contractually obliged to hate Strictly, but it turns out that X Factor judge Gary Barlow can’t get enough of his rival show – according to his best mate Jason Donovan.
Just what will Simon Cowell say?
Speaking exclusively to heat magazine this week, Jason reveals: “Gary is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing.
“Secretly, I know he fancies himself wearing full-on sequins, with a shaved chest and open shirt. It’s just a shame he’s busy with The X Factor.”
Jason, one of the favourites to win this year’s dancing competition, continues: “Gary has actually visited me at Strictly, too,. Obviously it wasn’t on a Saturday! It was during one of my rehearsals in London and he came to support me. Gary’s wife came to see the live show, too – she’s a big fan. They both come from dance-related backgrounds, so they really love the show.”
But despite the rivalry between their shows, Jason wasn’t going to put down The X Factor.
He says: “It’s taken a while for it to find its rhythm, but Gary is the best man for the job.”
This week’s heat is on sale now (Tuesday).
