EXCLUSIVE: Danniella Westbrook says she’d love to do Strictly Come Dancing but hints she’s not allowed on the show, revealing there’s a surprising reason behind the ban
Danniella Westbrook has admitted why she’s unlikely to ever appear on Strictly Come Dancing – and it might surprise fans who would love to see her on the dazzling dancefloor.
The former EastEnders star admitted that appearing on the hit BBC ballroom show has always been a dream of hers. Talking exclusively to Daily Star in collaboration with casino.org, she said: “I’d love to do Strictly. It’s my dream.
“But I don’t think they’d let me do it because I’ve done Dancing on Ice already. I’m not sure why, though. They are hugely different – two very different shows.”
Danniella, 51, added that she would also jump at the chance to appear on shows like Celebrity Dance Moms, describing it as something she thinks “would be great”.
The actress is keeping her options open elsewhere, revealing she’d also love to try Celebs Go Dating to find love. “I need to find true love. I thought I found it, but I was wrong,” she admitted candidly.
When asked what kind of partner she’s looking for, Danniella shared: “Someone with a job. Honestly, a good mate of mine, Danny – he’s been in the industry for years doing hair. He’s worked with some huge celebrities, like Cara Delevingne and loads of others. If you could find someone like my mate Dan, that would be perfect.
“He understands how tough this industry can be and has a solid work ethic. He’s clean and sober, so he’d get where I’m coming from with my own lifestyle.
“I’d love to meet someone who’s not a clout chaser, someone genuine who isn’t obsessed with social media or has a massive ego. Just someone real, with a bit of drive. Someone who doesn’t want to suddenly be an actor or go on Big Brother once you’ve lived with them, you know, suddenly they want to give up everything they’re doing and become famous.”
She continued: “When you get to 51, and you think you’ve found ‘the one’, like I thought I had not too long ago, and it doesn’t work out, it knocks you a bit. So now, I’m just trying to find that spark and energy again.”
