Holly Willoughby reveals why we’ll never see her on Strictly

She says 'YES' to most shows but this one she won't touch with a barge pole

| Updated:

Holy Willoughby has probably presented every TV show on the box.

In her early days, the former model presented Saturday morning kids shows with Stephen Mulhern.

She went on to replace Davina McCall on a remake of Streetmate and as we all know she currently presents This Morning, sports quiz  Play To The Whistle, Surprise Surprise and many more…

It almost feels like she and her agent say yes to EVERYTHING!

But, believe it or not, there is one show she says would never do.

No, not the News a Ten. But Strictly.

The bubbly telly fave is a huge fan of the ballroom show and admits that she is keen to learn how to dance.

But she says she would turn down any offers to appear on the show should they iff er her a spot.

“I couldn’t do Strictly… oh God no. I’d love to learn to dance but I wouldn’t want to do it on telly,” Holly told the Daily Star Sunday.

“Everyone would be watching me do it and that would be horrendous because I’m not very good at dancing.

“I’d probably be as bad as Ed Balls. I’d be more Ed Balls than Abbey Clancy, put it that way.”

Meanwhile, while she says she won’t embarrass herself on Strictly, she has let slip that she tends to have a few drinks before shooting madcap ITV2 show Celebrity Juice.

“Every so often I have a drink when we’re doing the show,” she said.

“Being there is like my pub quiz. It’s my night out. And when we film that show I forget we’re on telly.”
