Next! Martine McCutcheon...

Martine McCutcheon has revealed that she turned down Strictly Come Dancing, in case it might damage her career prospects.

Martine has had dance training, and fears that a few bad comments could undermine her abilities.

She told DigitalSpy: "I'm meant to be good at it. It would be like Rio Ferdinand going on a football show and getting a panel with two on it. In front of the country. I'm meant to be singing, dancing and acting. I think it would do me harm if I went on and people said, 'Oh, she's s**t'. So it would be a no."

It's an interesting, if odd, perspective; although doesn't say much about Martine's faith in her own abilities. Most participants who have had some dance training have done well on Strictly, and the show has been a much-needed career jolt for anyone who can make it to the halfway point in the show. Or maybe she's just happy flogging yoghurt...
