Keeley Hawes's Bodyguard character may have come to an untimely end, but viewers could see Julia Montague reunited with David Budd after all — on the Strictly dance floor.

With Strictly Come Dancing back on screens, one tweeter took the opportunity to request that Hawes and her co-star Richard Madden return for a spin on the dance floor this Christmas.

Guardian film critic @PeterBradshaw1 requested that the pair do the tango – appropriate, given their fiery onscreen chemistry – and Hawes spotted the tweet.

"I don't see why not," the actress responded.

Of course, the nation is now desperate to see Strictly execs turn this dream into a reality.

Luckily the BBC have already cottoned on.

And fans already have a pretty good idea of what song the Bodyguard pair should dance to: the Whitney Houston hit from the singer's film, The Bodyguard.
