Miriam O’Callaghan has revealed her reason for not taking part in RTE’s debut series of Dancing With The Stars.
Despite being wanted by bosses at the show, the 56-year-old broadcaster felt it best to keep off the dance floor, and leave it in the capable hands (or er, feet) of her colleagues, such as Teresa Mannion.
Speaking to the Independent.ie Miriam said, “I would not offend the nation by getting up to dance. I do love to dance but I would not be the world’s greatest dancer, so no.
“I sometimes think as a current affairs anchor, I’ve stretched myself a fair bit into other areas. But I think Dancing with the Stars would just be too much. Everyone would go, ‘No Miriam, that’s just too far.'”
Although she opted not to enter the dancing competition, the mum-of-eight is a huge fan of the UK version of the show, and will most definitely be tuning in this Sunday evening.
“I’ll be cheering them all on. I’ll be watching it, because I love the British version of Strictly,” she said.
We’ll be right there with you Miriam!
