The presenter on the Channel 4 property show said: "My kids would never forgive my husband if daddy said, "Mummy can't go on Strictly" - they would disown him." She continued: "I would be well up for doing Strictly because I've got serious rhythm.

Strictly Come Dancing yesterday announced its first competitors for its 2023 series in Angela Rippon, Amanda Abbington and Layton Williams.
