Emma Willis says she’s up for Strictly Come Dancing after The Circle is axed
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.”
