X Factor star in Baby Ballroom

X Factor runner up Ray Quinn has been snapped up by ITV as a judge in new reality TV show "Baby Ballroom".The competition will see 6-11-year-olds compete for the TV's ultimate ballroom dancing crown.The move comes after his debut album of swing covers reached the top spot and proves that while Ray may have missed out to Leona Lewis in the X Factor, he has forged a credible career of his own.Baby Ballroom is presented by Kate Thornton which should make Ray feel at home, although he is looking forward to having the tables turned and being on the judge's bench this time.He said: "I'm a judge, funnily enough. A bit of a role reversal but it's gonna be great, I'm looking forward to it."Baby Ballroom starts July 28 on ITV1.© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
