Rochelle Humes reveals why she’d NEVER sign up for Strictly saying she was ‘in a bad way’ after Christmas special
ROCHELLE Humes has revealed she would never take part in Strictly Come Dancing after being left in a ‘bad way’ doing the Christmas special.
The This Morning presenter, 35, appeared in the festive episode alongside pro Ian Waite in 2013, and while her close friend JB Gill is currently taking part, she has ruled out a return.
She said: “I basically got dragged around the dance floor by the lovely Ian Waite, and I was the most nervous I could be. I was in a bad way, I don’t know how anybody does that, week in, week out.”
Rochelle added to: “I could never... and the respect that I have for the people that do Strictly, it’s just beyond!”
JB, who is in JLS with Rochelle’s husband Marvin, is currently competing with Amy Dowden.
Speaking about how he is getting on, Rochelle said: “We went to watch JB last week, and he was so brilliant – he didn’t look nervous at all!”

Unfortunately, JB found himself in the bottom two over the weekend despite getting an impressive score of 30.
Following the public vote they found themselves at risk, but fortunately the judges opted to save the duo over former footballer Paul Merson and his dance partner Karen Hauer.
Speaking on Strictly spin-off series It Takes Two about it, JB said: "I mean, we got 30.
"So it wasn't like we had a shabby score, so, of course, it's always disappointing I think when you put so much work into training and obviously you work hard throughout the week, as everybody does, to kind of not have the result that you want - which is obviously to go through to the next week.

"And to find yourself in a dance-off is always a little bit disheartening, because it's not what you're looking for.
"But you know, the level of competition this year is very, very high.
"You can see that the standard is is right up there. And so, it's one of those things - part of the show."
