Next! Gyles Brandreth...
Former MP and current television personality Gyles Brandreth has revealed that he has been approached to take part in Strictly, but turned it down.
He told the Radio Times: "I’ve been asked to go on Strictly, but I always say no because though in my head I’m Fred Astaire, in fact I’m Fred Flintstone. Also the older people who do well on Strictly are always round, whether it’s John Sergeant or Ann Widdecombe or Russell Grant. I’m just not round enough."
Of those aged 60+, Pamela Stevenson (60) is the most successful to date, coming in 3rd place. Certainly not round!
Ann (62) was next, who ended up 6th. Russell (60) actually came in 8th, while Anita Dobson (62), David Dickenson (63) (although perhaps series 1 doesn't count as there were only 8 participants) and John (64) (who quit, so technically might have come higher) all came in 7th.
So suggesting there is a success to roundness ratio is a bit unfair.
