The
Queen’s granddaughter has revealed that she was asked to take part in one of
Britain’s most popular reality TV shows.
Zara Phillips made the admission as she enjoyed a front row seat at this
weekend’s recording at BBC Television Centre in London of Strictly Come Dancing.
The show, which is internationally known as Dancing With The
Stars, has been headline news in the UK this past week due to the withdrawal from
the competition of a man who most definitely can’t dance: former political
journalist John Sergeant.
Interviewed on the Sunday evening results show on BBC One, Zara – accompanied by her rugby
star boyfriend, Mike Tindall – confirmed media speculation that the award-winning royal equestrian was invited
to swap the stirrups for her dancing shoes.
According to Zara: "We did get asked but it’s a bad time of year for
us, unfortunately. So we have to watch, but we love watching it."
