What's Up, Doc?

If they're not rumoured to be a part of Strictly, celebs are telling us how they turned it down.

The latest, slightly more unlikely approachee is Dr. Robert Winston.

He told the Daily Telegraph: "People think I appear on television to promote my image. That's not fair. I hate filming. I turned down Strictly Come Dancing. But television is a wonderful opportunity to promote scientific ideas."

He would have been an interesting participant, and he didn't mention Strictly just to get a bit of press, unlike some other glory-hunting celebs (*cough* Richard Madeley *cough*). This was a tiny, interesting, soundbite from a much longer interview.
