Anton Du Beke, a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, has expressed his desire to participate in the reality show Celebrity Race Across the World but firmly ruled out ever joining Dancing on Ice or I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! due to safety concerns and personal fears, such as his arachnophobia. He described Dancing on Ice as 'terribly dangerous' and emphasized that he doesn't want to engage in activities that could lead to injury, referencing past accidents on the show. Meanwhile, former tennis star Andy Murray dismissed the idea of following his mother onto Strictly, focusing instead on his aspirations to excel in golf. As Strictly returns for its 2024 season, Du Beke reflects on his two decades with the show, acknowledging its blend of entertainment and competition as key to its success. He remains proud to be part of the program's legacy alongside original members. The new season of Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays on BBC One.
