A BBC Breakfast presenter says she can't compete on Strictly Come Dancing.

A former BBC Breakfast star, Louise Minchin, recently opened up about why she won't be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing anytime soon. The 56-year-old TV presenter, who co-hosted BBC Breakfast until 2021, has been a part of other reality shows such as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity MasterChef. However, she has firmly said no to participating in the popular dance competition.

Louise revealed that she has been banned from Strictly due to a specific reason - her terrible dancing skills. She shared with The Times, "They know I'm a terrible dancer so the possibility of being hugely embarrassing is massive. I'm banned for being embarrassing." Despite this, Louise is excited to be a part of the Gladiators celebrity special, which she describes as "terrifying fun." She will be joined by Joel Dommett, comedian Rob Beckett, and actress Ellie Taylor on the show.

In an effort to bring the latest news and rumors from the Strictly dancefloor, Metro has launched a WhatsApp community for fans to join. This will also include behind-the-scenes gossip about their favorite pros, judges, and celebrities. Louise may not be participating in the ballroom, but she is still making headlines with her involvement in other reality shows.

In a recent interview, Louise discussed her decision to step down from her role at BBC Breakfast. She shared that the job came with an enormous amount of pressure and grueling hours, which had an impact on every aspect of her life. Despite loving her dream job, she knew it was time to move on. During her final broadcast in 2021, Louise thanked her co-host Dan Walker for making her stay on for much longer than she had originally planned.

Louise also expressed her gratitude to the BBC Breakfast team and viewers for the support and welcoming her into their homes and hearts. She acknowledged that they have shared tough stories and programs, but they always had each other's backs. Louise's exit from BBC Breakfast may have been bittersweet, but she is grateful for the memories and experiences she had while on the show.
