Chris Hughes ‘desperate’ to do Strictly Come Dancing after claiming he turned down Dancing On Ice a day after Love Island finished
CHRIS Hughes wants to take part in Strictly Come Dancing having practised flamenco when he was younger, but has revealed how he snubbed Dancing On Ice following his time on Love Island.
The reality star, 25, is keen to try his luck on the ballroom floor and could be sashaying into Elstree Studios later this year.
He said: “I would love to do Strictly – I love the show – I am not a great dancer but that is what you train. and I used to dance the flamenco when I was younger… and on Love Island we did a bit of dancing in the villa at one stage – it was either the Tango or Salsa – and I would definitely consider it.”
Chris supported his best pal Kem Cetinay in the Dancing On Ice reboot, but the pair could have continued their double act on ice, with Chris admitting he was also offered a place on the programme just a day after finishing Love Island.
He said: “They approached me the day that I left Love Island but I left it for about two or three months and I would rather do something fun. I don’t wish I had done it.
“I have tried to ice skate and I can’t ice skate for a start – straight up – to be honest with you I wouldn’t have wanted to have done it. I was kind of asked to do it and there were a lot of offers around the time. And no I am not going into the jungle to be fair – everyone was talking about it but we are not going in.”
The star has finally ended his bitter feud with Katie Price after seven months of explosive rows – insisting there’s no longer any “bad blood” between them.
The Love Island star made amends with the Loose Women presenter at a charity football game just days after his split with Olivia Attwood was aired on their reality show.
In an exclusive interview Chris said: “There is no bad blood between me and Katie. She is fine.
“I want to put everything that has happened behind me. I went to a charity football match in Cheltenham last week and I knew she was going to be there.
“Her husband was there too and everyone got on.”
Katie and Chris fell out over claims he sent her 52 secret texts on Snapchat behind Olivia’s back – including one which he branded his ex “fame hungry.”
