Ross King Drops Major Hint About Ditching La For Scotland'S Highland Charm

Ross King’s LA-to-Scotland Tease: Is a Homecoming on the Horizon?

Picture this: trading the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles for the misty, rugged charm of the Scottish Highlands. That’s exactly what Strictly Come Dancing star Ross King might be mulling over after more than 25 years in the City of Angels. The ITV showbiz correspondent, originally from Glasgow, has been a staple of Hollywood’s red carpet scene, but a recent trip back to his homeland has him rethinking his SoCal lifestyle.

While currently in the UK to cha-cha his way to the Glitterball trophy on Strictly, Ross dropped some serious hints about a potential move during a candid chat on the How To Be 60 podcast with Kaye Adams. The Loose Women panelist pressed him on whether he’d spend his golden years in LA, and his cryptic ‘Who knows?’ response has fans buzzing about a possible return to Scotland.

Let’s be real - LA’s got the palm trees and endless summer vibes, but there’s something about the raw, untamed beauty of Scotland that’s clearly tugging at Ross’s heartstrings. Could we see him swapping Hollywood premieres for Highland hikes? Only time will tell.

Rediscovering Scotland: A Highland Revelation

Ross didn’t hold back on his love for his roots, gushing about Glasgow as his ‘proper home’ and the place that’ll always hold his heart. But it was a summer getaway to the Highlands that really shook things up for the TV star. He admitted to feeling a bit embarrassed for not fully appreciating just how stunning the area is until now.

‘I hadn’t been up to the Highlands in forever,’ he shared on the podcast. ‘We went up there, and I was just blown away - I’d forgotten how beautiful it is.’ That kind of revelation isn’t just a passing thought; it sounds like the kind of epiphany that could have him packing his bags for good.

For those not in the know, the Scottish Highlands are like Scotland’s answer to a Malibu dreamscape - think dramatic cliffs, serene lochs, and a vibe that’s pure magic. It’s no wonder Ross is feeling the pull to return after soaking in all that natural splendor.

Strictly Spotlight: Ross King’s Dance Floor Debut

While Ross ponders his future, he’s got plenty on his plate right now with Strictly Come Dancing. The star made his debut last weekend, getting paired with his pro partner and gearing up for the first big competition on Saturday, September 27. He’s following in the footsteps of fellow Good Morning Britain alums like Charlotte Hawkins, Ranvir Singh, Ed Balls, and Kate Garraway, all of whom have strutted their stuff on the iconic dance floor.

Of course, the GMB crew has a rep for bringing it on Strictly, with Susanna Reid making it all the way to the final alongside Kevin Clifton - only to lose out to Abbey Clancy and Aljaž Škorjanec. Can Ross bring home the Glitterball and make his Scottish fans proud? We’re rooting for him to channel some of that Highland energy into his moves.

‘I’m ready to give it my all on Strictly - who knows, maybe I’ll dance my way back to Scotland for good!’ - Ross King, reflecting on his journey.

From Hollywood to Home: Ross King’s Star-Studded Legacy

Before stepping onto the Strictly stage, Ross was already a household name thanks to over two decades on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and Lorraine. From dishing the latest Tinseltown tea to rubbing shoulders with A-listers, he’s interviewed everyone from Gerard Butler to Celine Dion and even The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson). Oh, and let’s not forget chats with heavyweights like former President Bill Clinton.

That kind of resume screams Hollywood royalty, but Ross’s heart seems to be wandering back to the cobblestone streets of Glasgow. Whether he’s reporting from a star-studded premiere or reminiscing about Scotland’s charm, there’s no denying this man’s got roots deeper than a California redwood.

So, what’s next for Ross King? Will he stick with the LA hustle, or is a full-on Scotland comeback in the cards? One thing’s for sure - whether he’s dancing on Strictly or dreaming of the Highlands, we’ll be watching every step of this SoCal-to-Scotland saga.
