Anton Du Beke is hoping he can go on to compete on The Great British Bake Off.

The professional dancing star admits he'd love to appear on BBC One's baking competition in a celebrity special, as he worked as a trainee baker in his teen years.

Speaking to Christine Bleakley on Magic Radio he said: "I started off as a baker. That was the job I had the longest really. When I was about 17 I did that for about four or five years - I worked up from just a trainee to a skilled baker.

"If they do a celebrity version of the bake-off again, I might have a go".

However the star thinks competing would be hard work and credits Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry - the show's judges - for their dedication.

"That's a young man's job. No wonder Paul Hollywood looks so exhausted. Mary Berry's only 25. It's the early mornings that do it to you but I'd like to give it a go."

Listen to the full interview this Sunday from 3pm across the UK on DAB radio. Head to www.magic.co.uk for more.
