Meanwhile, yesterday The Sun revealed how legendary Neighbours stars Delta Goodrem and Natalie Imbruglia are both in talks to join this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
The actresses could both end up in the dance contest alongside Stefan Dennis, who also starred on the Aussie soap, who we revealed had signed up.
Now Natalie, 50, and Delta, 40, are in also in negotiations with Strictly execs.
A TV insider told us: 'Talks are at a point where things could go in a number of different directions but if both celebrities signed up then that would be seen as quite a coup for the show.
'Delta and Natalie would bring some glamour to the programme, and be some of this year's most eagerly anticipated competitors.
'If all three former Neighbours stars end up performing, the Strictly dance floor will end up looking more like Ramsay Street.
'But the next 24 hours of discussions between execs and the stars' reps are critical.'
Last year, the show was won by Strictly's very first blind contestant, Chris McCausland.
The comedian scooped the Glitterball Trophy along with pro dancer, Dianne Buswell.
More stars for this year's show will be released in the coming days.
