Denise van Outen said she turned down the role of hosting Strictly Come Dancing because she felt it sounded too boring.
The television presenter spoke candidly about being asked to host the BBC ballroom competition, Strictly Come Dancing. Denise joined The Matt Haycox Show where she was asked whether or not she has any career regrets. Speaking honestly about a conversation she had with the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, the 48-year-old said she'll forever regret letting Strictly slip through her fingers.
She said: "When they first came up with the idea, I was offered Strictly Come Dancing. I knew Bruce Forsyth really well and I've done a few shows with him. We used to sing together. [Bruce] came to me and approached me to be a sidekick in the new Strictly Come Dancing.
