Rochelle Humes opened up to Closer Online about all things Strictly Come Dancing - and revealed that she and Marvin would never go on the show

You'd have thought that after seeing two of her bandmates almost win Strictly Come Dancing, Rochelle Humes would be chomping at the bit to give it a go herself.

But despite a career spanning 17 years of singing, dancing and performing, The Saturdays singer has completely ruled out an appearance on the show in an exclusive interview with Closer Online.

I'm so excited 2016 has lots of projects lined up with modelling, presenting and singing.. watch this space."She also married Stevenage footballer Fraser Franks in 2017 and was quick to slam reports that her wedding day ended with her going to bed early without her husband.

To be fair, mum-of-two Rochelle has already given Strictly a try, having been a participant on the Christmas special in 2013, but she wasn't exactly taken with it.

When we caught up with her, we asked whether she or Marvin would ever consider it - and the answer was a resounding no.

She definitively said: "No, it’s not for us. I did the charity special once and I was horrific – so bad."

Uh oh - not a great experience then!

She added: "I love watching the show but I’m not passionate enough about dancing to enjoy it.

"I love watching it and I love watching people dance, you know if you’re not good at something you don’t enjoy it? It’s that sort of thing."

You can't say fairer than that!

But we were led to wonder whether Rochelle might have also been put off by one of the Strictly judges after close friend Aston Merrygold, her husband Marvin's JLS bandmate, was slated by Craig Revel-Horwood.

She said: "I was so shocked that he left. It wasn’t so much that he got kicked out because every week someone has to go, but I just think Craig marked him really unfairly - I think the four wasn’t justified.

"Apart from that, he was fine – we were all more annoyed than he was! He’s so chilled anyway, but we were all definitely all more annoyed about it than he was."

Bless him - we were convinced he'd take the Glitterball trophy home.

So, if Strictly isn't for Rochelle, could she be tempted by another reality show... Maybe I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!?

Er, no, not that one either.

She said: "I just think I’d be terrible in the jungle because I wouldn’t like to miss the girls – I’ve got two young kids and to go to Australia and have no contact would be horrible."

Dancing On Ice? "Dancing On Ice would be an accident waiting to happen so I’m probably better off not doing any of those!"

That's a firm no, then!
