Celebrity Big Brother star Kim Woodburn has revealed the raunchy reason why she turned down Strictly Come Dancing.
Kim claims she was previously approached for the show by BBC bosses but rejected their offer for one or two reasons. The star spoke exclusively to Daily Star about her TV career whilst working with WhichBingo.
She told us: “The one show I did turn down was Strictly Come Dancing. Have you seen the size of me? Dear, I’m 5’10” and about 12 stone. What man’s gonna lift me?

“I was asked to do it but told them I couldn’t dance for a peanut. I admire those they call on to do it, but it’s not for me.
“I’d rather make love than dance. I’m a passionate woman, very passionate. My poor husband looks about 103 and he’s only 25,” she cheekily quipped.
Kim, 82, is married to her husband Peter Woodburn, 79, and has been since 1979. The couple live together in Nantwich, Cheshire. The TV personality first shot to fame when she was 61 after becoming a famous face on How Clean is Your House? alongside Aggie MacKenzie.
The pair are said to have a long-running feud but Kim was quick to praise her co-star and thank her for their time together on the show. Kim added: “We’re not in touch anymore but we did a series together, and I was very grateful to Ag. We worked from 2003 to 2009 and we both made a great success of the show.
“We didn’t know each other beforehand, not really, but I wish her all the best in the world because it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have had the show we had. So thank you, Aggie.
“We did well and were on TV all those years, and it sold to 30 countries. I’m still getting royalties. So Ag and I can’t complain. It was the best cleaning show ever on television. Nothing’s come close to it yet and I’m very proud of that.”
