Richard Madeley is itching to take part in Saturday night TV hit Strictly Come Dancing, he has revealed.But his wife and chat show co-host Judy Finnigan is likely to skip it.

Richard, 50, said: "Every year I get asked to go on Strictly Come Dancing. It is the only one I'd do."

"Nobody on the show has been a sad, ex-celeb. They're mostly people with valid careers who do it because they want to."

But Richard, who is hosting the new ITV show Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway, admitted: "I'm s*** at dancing."

He also told Heat magazine: "I've no wish to go on I'm a Celebrity or Big Brother and be controlled by a bunch of sadistic producers.

"You have no control, and I'm a bit of a control freak. Also I think, 'What's in it for me?'"

A spokesman for BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing, which has 12million viewers, yesterday did not deny Richard would be appearing, but added: "We can't discuss it yet."
