Krishnan Guru-Murthy, a well-known broadcaster and star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming General Election coverage and the possibility of politicians appearing on reality TV shows. In an interview with The Agency, Krishnan threw some shade at ITV, the rival network of the BBC where Strictly airs, by suggesting that politicians may be more likely to appear on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! than on Strictly.
As he gears up to lead Channel 4's election coverage, Krishnan is preparing to grill politicians from all parties. He believes that after the election, there may be a surge of politicians looking for opportunities on reality TV shows, either to make money or to build their fame. While he doesn't rule out the possibility of a politician appearing on Strictly, he doubts that it will happen this year.
Krishnan himself appeared on Strictly last year and became the seventh celebrity to leave the competition. He compares his experience on the show to his work in election coverage, stating that both require resilience and the ability to handle high-pressure situations. However, he also acknowledges that his appearance on Strictly has helped him connect with viewers on a more personal level and has even aided him in his news broadcasting career.
But for now, Krishnan is focused on the upcoming election coverage and the historic night ahead. He predicts that it will be a memorable moment in history, comparable to the only other two election nights he has experienced in his lifetime. However, he admits that the long hours and lack of sleep during the coverage will leave him feeling "absolutely dreadful" afterwards.
Despite his reservations about the toll it will take on him, Krishnan is looking forward to the election coverage and the opportunity to be a part of such a significant event. He believes that it will be a night that people will remember for decades to come. And as for the possibility of appearing on reality TV in the future, Krishnan keeps an open mind and doesn't rule anything out.
