STRICTLY bosses want former Zimbabwe and Liverpool goalie Bruce Grobbelaar to appear on this year's show.
The 64-year-old Zimbabwean with "spaghetti legs" is at the top of the BBC show's list and bosses have already met him via online video call.
A source said: "Bosses are determined to get Grobbelaar to sign on the dotted line.
"Even getting him to agree to a meeting was a mission but so far he's dragging his heels.
"He's made it clear the only way he will sign up is if they agree a big money package.
"Producers are willing to splash out to get him but have a limit as to how much they can spend."
Grobbelaar helped Liverpool win their fourth European Cup in 1984 by putting off Roma's players during a penalty shoot-out.
He stood on the goal line and did a "spaghetti legs" routine, making his limbs go all wobbly to successfully distract the opposition.
