Strictly want "PC Ryan Pilkington" for new series

"Strictly Come Dancing" are hoping to sign up Gregory Piper who plays PC Ryan Pilkington in "Line of Duty".

Everyone is talking about the show and he'd be a dream signing for them despite not being on their radar a month ago.  It's even better for them the fact he is already on a BBC show as sometimes they have to poach contestants from rival TV channels.

Gregory was just 14 when he started on "Line of Duty" back in 2012.  His co-star Vicky McClure who plays DC Kate Fleming posted an old photo of them together on Instagram.
