Danniella Westbrook will never get a spot on Strictly due to issues with BBC

Danniella Westbrook says she will never do Strictly Come Dancing due to BBC bosses.

Former EastEnders icon reckons she will never be able to do the show but not because of her.

The actress, 49, told the Daily Star how she has given up on the show due to her “ongoing beef with the BBC”.

When asked if she would be up for doing the show, Danniella said: “I would have but I don’t think that will ever happen now. I have wanted to but it won’t happen because of the beef with the BBC.”

Instead of her, actress Kim Medcalf took on the role on the character rather than Danniella.

Danniella tweeted at the time: “Wishing Kym the best of luck at @BBCEastenders__ yet again this poor woman has to recreate a Samantha Mitchell as close to my last two recent come backs on the square go smash it darling..x oh but not to @bbceastenders my legal team will be in touch.”

In a second tweet, she continued: “Bet you all can’t wait for my new book now can ya… Oh it’s gonna go way back to the things I’ve never ever told #beafraidpeople #itsallgood.”

The I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star also recalled a moment she flashed Ant and Dec on air.

The 2003 series star had just taken part in a Bushtucker Trial and got hundreds of insects stuck all over her – including in her bra.

Talking about her trial, she said: “They got everywhere and little Dec went bright red bless him but we’re all older and wiser now and ready to go.

“I know they were only young though back then.”

The clip of her gruesome trial can be found online and can see Danniella being covered in thousands of insects.

At the end of her trial, she told hosts Ant and Dec: “Oh they’re all crawling in between my bristols, look!” as she flashed the pair her bug-covered boobs.

In fits of laughter, Ant responded: “I think the best thing to do now is going to go jump in the river.”
