Sources have suggested that the former Royal butler has been considered as a potential star in past series. ‌ However, show bosses are said to be anxious about how his participation might be received by the Palace and have consequently shelved the idea. ‌ A source told The Mirror: "They know how much Queen Camilla loves the show and would love for her to appear in the they fear that Paul's involvement would scupper that relationship."
