So how does So You Think You Can Dance producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, feel about the potential competition? "I'm thrilled to hear that Simon Cowell is doing a dance show," Nigel tells OK! exclusively.
"He is an excellent producer and any program that exposes the huge talent that has been discovered in the area of dance is extremely exciting," he adds.
