Next! Linda Robson...

Birds of a Feather actress Linda Robson turned down Strictly, because she didn't want to embarrass her children.

She told the Daily Star: “You have to know your capabilities. I could not learn one routine. I did Let’s Dance for Sport Relief and I could not remember the routine and I had three weeks to learn it. I would be the joke one if I went on the show and I don’t want that. I don’t mind people laughing with me but my kids would be traumatised.”
