With Strictly 2024 around the corner, reality star Gemma Collins is eager to take part and win the show this year.

Gemma Collins on Strictly: ‘It would be the dream’
Speaking exclusively with the MailOnline, Gemma stated “It would be the dream” to do Strictly, asking: “Who wouldn’t want to do Strictly?”
“I want to learn to do a Rumba and show everyone, these hips don’t lie as Shakira said. I can dance, honey, I love to dance, I could win. Listen, I still think there’s a lot of outrage if someone is overweight, they just presume that you can’t move. But I can do the splits, I can kick my leg, and shake my booty.”
During her time on Dancing On Ice, Gemma was doubted due to her size. However, she proved them wrong.
“People would love it but it’s just whether they will give me a chance. If it’s meant to be, I believe in the universe. But I would never beg anyone to do their show, I know what I bring to the table. It’s only in their interest and benefit to book me.”
Gemma claimed that when she was voted off Dancing On Ice, the show “lost three million viewers”.
