Richard Madeley for Strictly?

Last year saw Chris Hollins and Ricky Whittle donning the sparkly spandex, but will Richard Madeley succomb to the sequin-fest that is Strictly Come Dancing?

After turning down offers to appear on the BBC show in the past, the former This Morning host has hinted that he may be ready to rumba.

Speaking about reality shows in an interview, the 53-year-old said: "The only one I'd consider is Strictly Come Dancing because it's down to the contestants and what they make of it.

"All the other shows are shamelessly manipulated by the producers. I'm a total control freak, so I'd hate it," he added.

It is not the only BBC role Madeley has been linked with. He was among the stars tipped to replace Adrian Chiles on The One Show. But he told a paper: "I have been asked if I would be interested. And I would not be interested if it meant a full-time, year-round commitment.

"I just don't want to be tied to that kind of full-on job again. But if the BBC had a number of presenters who hosted the show for two months at a time then, sure, I'd want to talk about that very seriously," said Madeley.
