Burnley's best-known philanthropist Dave Fishwick has reportedly been approached by Strictly Come Dancing bosses and has told his pals he's signed up for the show.
He regularly appears on This Morning and has become a favourite among viewers for his no-nonsense Northern attitude.

They said the opportunity is a "dream come true" for Dave and added: "He is a working-class man who did well for himself and decided to use his success to help others." Dave left school at 16 with no qualifications and set up his minibus company. He then founded Burnley Savings and Loans in 2011.
