It was reported in June that Michelle, 36, had signed up the BBC One competition, after she admitted she’d love to take part.

But sadly Michelle has dismissed the rumours. Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: “I’m really sorry to disappoint you all but that’s just a rumour.

“Even I read the article and I was like, ‘Really?!’ But no.”

She may not be appearing this year but Michelle admitted she was grateful just being connected to the show.

She continued: “The fact that I was even mentioned in the mix and in media made me happy and made me smile but I was never going to do it.”

Appearing on Lorraine earlier this year, Michelle confessed an appearance on the show would make her feel womanly again – following her double mastectomy and double hysterectomy in 2012.

She said: “I think it’s every girl’s dream to do a show that makes you feel really glamorous and special and the last few years have been really rough so it’d be really nice to feel womanly again and do something positive and learn a craft.”

Addressing her health this week, Michelle added: “I’m fine. All good and no problems.”
