This could be the year for Emma Willis to do Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV presenter says she would love to do the show but a busy work schedule has stopped her in the past.
Following the axe of The Circle by Channel 4, Emma has hinted she could be ready to take to the ballroom in 2021.
In a chat with The Sun newspaper, Emma said: “If I had time, I would do it in a heartbeat. Like I absolutely love it. I’ve been asked in the past but it’s always the time of year when we’re filming The Voice and The Circle.
“The Circle is not happening this year, but let’s hope The Voice is — otherwise I will be doing Strictly.”

For now you can catch Emma fronting new ITV series Cooking With The Stars on ITV from next Tuesday.
Co-hosted with Tom Allen, it will see eight celebrities taking part with professional chefs who will mentor, teach and take them from passionate amateur to restaurant level chefs.
Celebs taking part include comedian and actor Griff Rhys-Jones, Strictly’s head judge Shirley Ballas, performer and presenter Denise Van Outen, actress Catherine Tyldesley and McFly’s Harry Judd.
Emma said: “I absolutely love cooking so I can’t wait to see the celebrities in the kitchen showing what they have or haven’t learnt. What a brilliant opportunity to be trained by some of the best chefs in the business and I’m hoping I can pick up a few tips too.
