Davina McCall is a busy bunny, but despite having several shows on TV right now, or about to be on TV – including The Million Pound Drop, Got to Dance and Long Lost Families – she’s revealed to TV Biz that she’d love to compete on Strictly Come Dancing.
She said, “I love the idea of the dresses, the dancing, the romance,” however, as she has three young kids at home, she already finds it hard to juggle her career with her home life.
Of that, Davina said, “I am constantly trying to find a really good balance and I’ve got a really good balance at the moment…
“So I think [being on Strictly] might send me over the edge.
“It’s a real commitment and my ego would like to think I might be in for more than one week, so it would be weeks and weeks of non-stop rehearsal… Read more & comment »

UPDATE 11 APRIL: Popstar to OperaStar Claire Richards hits back at Holly Valance fat jibes
Holly Valance did not win 2011′s Strictly Come Dancing and we think that she might have been so upset that she is comfort eating – have a look at the photos! The Kiss Kiss singer has been spotted by our sister site, StyleJacking, looking a little heavier than she was at the end of last year. This is typical of Strictly stars, it is such an intense workout that when you stop, it can be difficult for your body not to react to the drop in metabolism.
The 28-year-old actress and reality TV star was spotted this week eating lunch with Nick Candy in what StyleJacking calls, “…an awful, and unflattering, white outfit.” It could be that the outfit made her look heavier than she is but we know that Holly has battled with her weight before, she has talked about it on many occasions, in various articles.
