A Place In The Sun's Jean Johansson said she would love to sign up to Strictly Come Dancing (Image: CHANNEL4) Presenter Jean Johansson has been trying to secure a slot on Strictly Come Dancing and has already thought about which professional dancer she'd want to be paired with. The 42-year-old is a regular face on screens fronting Channel 4's property show A Place In The Sun, as well as new series Key To A Fortune, and she is also currently filming for her Christmas crafting show. While she already has a packed schedule, the host has insisted she would make space for Strictly if producers finally said yes to signing her up.
Despite her agent trying to secure her a spot on the show "every year", she is yet to be given the opportunity to showcase her moves. Addressing the current controversies surrounding the show, she shared: "I think it's shown they can bounce back. "There's no doubt about it, there's allegedly been bad behaviour but from a production point of view, it looks like they're handling it professionally.
They'll likely be ensuring that their duty of care is better than before." Jean said despite the saga, she would "still love to do it" and have the chance to dance with her "dream partner" Johannes Radebe. "Every year my agent is on the phone trying to secure it," she told Love Sunday's Magazine.
