Shaun Ryder Turned Down Strictly

Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder was rumoured to have been approached to take part in Strictly, but has turned it down because he doesn't like the judges.

He told The Sun: "I got asked to do Strictly. The problem with Strictly is it doesn’t really do anything for you, does it? You go on and you dance like a twat, right, and then you stand there while some c**t tells you how bad you are and what a wanker you are."

It seems odd to me that the BBC would approach Shaun. Strictly is a live show, and Shaun got into very hot water for his language on TFI Friday in the mid-1990s.
