Britain's Got Talent ballroom dancing duo the Sugar Dandies have called for Strictly Come Dancing to include same-sex pairings this year.
The gay couple, Soren and Bradley, were one of the most memorable acts on last weekend's Got Talent launch, when they danced to Westlife's 'You Raise Me Up'.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the pair said that they hope they can inspire the BBC to attempt same-sex pairings on their flagship reality series in the future, citing instances where it has happened elsewhere in Europe on Dancing with the Stars.
"Absolutely we think it's time that Strictly had a same-sex couple. It is something that they haven't really showcased yet," said the dancers.
"If we can even play a small part in making it possible and showing that it is possible to impress a large audience with same-sex couples that would be brilliant. They have done it on some of the other shows in Israel and Croatia, so let's just hope the BBC get on to it."
Teasing a possible semi-final routine for Britain's Got Talent, they added: "We have the technique of ballroom, but we always try to bring it some Sugar Dandies flair.
"There is more. That is one of the wonderful things about dance. There is always more."
Britain's Got Talent airs on Saturdays at 8pm on ITV1.
