Strictly Come Dancing have approached Brooklyn Beckham and a young member of the Royal family in an attempt to attract younger viewers, according to reports.
David and Victoria Beckham's son, Brooklyn, 20, is thought to be top of the hit BBC show's target list, while they are hoping to get a royal on board after the family have continuously hit the headlines over the past few months.
It is believed the show's bosses are eyeing up Lady Amelia Windsor, who is the 24 year old granddaughter of Prince Edward, making her 39th in line to the throne.

The show reportedly have a list of 30 names they are hoping to sign up to this year's show following Kelvin Fletcher's victory with Oti Mabuse last month.
A source said: "Brooklyn is the main target for casting chiefs at the moment, because he will appeal to his parents' fans as well as his own.
"He has a young, cool image and they think that will win over new fans. Plus, they would love to get David and Victoria sitting in the front row."
Speaking of Lady Amelia, the insider added to The Sun Online: "Every year the team look at what is dominating the national conversation before deciding who they want on board.
"Last year England's lionesses did so well that they wanted a lioness, so they asked Alex Scott.
"This year, the Royals have dominated the headlines. So it's no surprise that they have now decided to target a member of the Royal family.
"Lady Amelia is both stunning a very young, so she should appeal to a young market too."
OK! online has contacted representatives for Strictly Come Dancing, Brooklyn and Lady Amelia for comment on this story.
Strictly Come Dancing successfully grew their young demographic last year, with more 16-24 year olds tuning in to watch the likes of CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and YouTube sensation Saffron Barker.
