Ricky Hatton For Strictly 5?

Boxer Ricky Hatton has stated that he turned down Celebrity Big Brother in "all of three seconds".

According to The Sun, he dislikes most reality shows, but sees the value in skill-based shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice.

“With Big Brother and I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, you feel like everyone is putting it on just to get votes. But on Strictly Come Dancing you are at least trying to perform and show you have a degree of talent. So that’s one I wouldn’t mind having a go at."

He says he was approached by the Dancing On Ice producers, but was unavailable. He'd rather do Strictly, anyway.

"[I'd] be scared of breaking a leg, so the dancing one is the best bet. Sportsmen have a good record at that and the only risk you run is maybe showing yourself up.”
