And now his Beeb colleague Angellica Bell has thrown her hat in the ring for the next series.

Despite Strictly‘s scandal earlier this year involving Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima‘s conduct on the show, Angellica is still up for the challenge.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, the 48-year-old said: “I haven’t read all of it, but what I have, there’s been stuff where people say it’s lovely.

“They love it. I know Nick Knowles really well. And who else has done it? Fleur East.

“So people have done it and say it’s really good. So when I’ve had like in-depth conversations with people who are my friends and they say it’s great, I would definitely go from their recommendation. And they always say, oh, you should do it.

“So, you know, I think you have to. I think everyone’s experience has been different. But all I know is I go into it and just be like, right. How much do I have to move my hips?”

Angellica, who rose to fame from her days presenting CBBC, is a self-confessed Strictly fan and has “watched every show”.

She continued: “It’s great fun. Do you know, I like seeing the people who haven’t danced and they get better because I think that’s what you know, it’s for.

“I actually like to see people get better because I think, oh, my gosh, I look at it. How did he learn the steps in a week? I can’t get my head around it.

“I love learning new things. You know, like I learned to ride a bike as an adult. I couldn’t swim as a child.”

Angellica was speaking as part of Currys’ campaign to save Black Friday by committing to their new minimum standard where no deal has been cheaper in the last six months, encouraging other retails to follow suit.
