Sources claim the former royal butler, who has previously been linked with the show, had been mooted as a possible contestant for the next series.

But executives fear it would not go down well with the Palace and have dismissed the idea.

A source said: "They know how much Queen Camilla loves the show and would love for her to appear in the audience.

"But they fear Paul’s involvement would scupper that relationship."
