I won't do 'Strictly' or any of those ghastly reality programmes. 'I'm a Celebrity' would be the end. It makes me shudder.
My mum - and my granny and I - would close the curtains, turn on the TV and snuggle up and watch 'Come Dancing.' It was actually my granny who was the biggest fan; she loved the show, and she passed on her passion for it to me. I loved the dancing but also the frocks and the glamour.
I've said no to 'Celebrity Big Brother,' 'Strictly,' and the American one, 'Dancing With The Stars.' I don't feel it's right for me. I've been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody's going to get into my living room and see me there.
I grew up dancing. When I was three years old, my mom would always watch Latin ballroom dancing competitions on PBS.
I'd love to go on 'Strictly' but I just don't think they'd let me on. I'm basically a ringer, as I've danced against some of the professionals in competitions when I was younger.
I direct as many shows as I can fit in between 'Strictly Come Dancing' and other performance stuff.
I get asked to do panel shows, and reality stuff, like getting in a cage with a shark. I got asked to do a 'Strictly' special, but it's not my bag. If I'm being interviewed, that's OK, but anything else fills me with dread.
I watched 'Strictly' and thought, 'That's pretty cool.' But as a child, this was the show that I was like, 'Oh, my god. I want to go on 'I'm A Celeb.''
