Celebrity Big Brother’s Rachel Johnson secretly auditioned for Dancing On Ice but didn’t get cast because she ‘wasn’t very good’
RACHEL Johnson secretly auditioned for Dancing on Ice but didn't make the cut as she "wasn't very good".
The 52-year-old became the second person to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday night after 18 days on the Channel 5 reality show.
However she admitted to The Sun Online she had tried out for other reality shows before being signed up for CBB.
Speaking after her exit she said: "I’ll never do reality TV again. But I will be considering any TV offers that may be coming my way.
"They asked me to do Dancing On Ice a while ago and I actually went to Ally Pally [Alexandra Palace] and did lots of zooming around."
Asked why she didn't make it into the final line up, she replied: "I don’t know, I don’t think I was good enough."
But now she's finally done a reality show, Rachel has no plans to make a habit out of it.
She added: "I’ve been asked to do a lot of reality TV shows in my life.
"This is the one I’ve done and I think it’s going to be a once in a lifetime thing."
After leaving the house on Friday night, Rachel also discussed how former housemate and Tory MP Ann Widdecombe has a game plan.
She told The Sun Online: “Ann was a great addition the house because she’s forceful and uncompromising but her positions are not appropriate in this current age.
“I respect her for her for standing by her convictions but I don’t agree with her.

“Don’t forget Ann did Strictly and she does pantomime. She is very good at mugging for the cameras.
"If you watch her as I have done for two and a half weeks.
"You will see her doing a reaction shot every time something happens. She will cover her head with a towel, or she’ll touch her face and stare.”
