BBC Radio 1 host Danny Beard has revealed they would never be interested in signing up to Strictly Come Dancing . The RuPaul Drag Race star, who has previously hosted their own show on BBC Radio 1, revealed they're a huge fan of reality TV, but doesn't feel Strictly would be right for them. Speaking to the Mirror , they said: "I’m a massive, massive reality television nerd, so I would jump at the chance to do quite a few shows, probably not Strictly.
I'm probably one of the only z-listers you'll ever meet that will say they don't want to do Strictly, purely because I've got two left feet and I know I'd make an absolute t**t of myself." Strictly came under fire earlier this year after it launched an investigation into allegations of bullying. Earlier this year, with the probe underway, BBC bosses announced plans to introduce chaperones as part of a string of extra measures.
Reflecting on the recent controversy, Danny said: "It's the biggest and best show on television, and it provides such an escape. People forget, as artists, as drag queens, as actors, as dancers, whenever we do something, we're doing it because we want people to enjoy and escape and Strictly is the best show on television. "You're always going to get critics.
Change is good, as long as people feel safer, that's a great thing. But with something so big, there's always going to be a bit of scandal, a bit of gossip, a bit of something to say. So I say, ‘Let them say it’ you can never control what everyone.
