Andrew Ridgeley wants to do Strictly Come Dancing

The Wham! singer "would never say no" if he was approached to take part in the BBC's Latin and ballroom contest because he'd love to learn all the difference dances, and he even knows he'd like to be partnered with Nadya Bychkova.

Speaking to BBC Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley, he said: “I would love to be able to dance properly.

“I would love to jive, I would love to cha-cha-cha, and I would love to foxtrot or American Smooth, quickstep.

“I’m not saying no to 'Strictly'. I probably would (do it). My greatest fear would be not being able to remember the steps. As long as Nadiya was guiding me.”

The 60-year-old singer admitted his enthusiasm stemmed from a visit to a Salsa club while on holiday with his friends.

He said: "There were all these chaps, none of whom were particularly handsome, in the clinch with these unbelievably good looking girls and I was thinking, ‘yes, that’s the idea, I’ve missed a trick there’.”

Jo later shared her own excitement at the idea.

She tweeted: “YES. You heard it here first!”

Andrew isn't the only star to have expressed a dream of taking part on 'Strictly' recently.

'The Chase's Mark 'The Beast Labbett' recently admitted he would "really, really" like to take part after shedding the pounds.

The 57-year-old quizzer told The Sun newspaper: "I really, really, really would like to do 'Strictly Come Dancing'. Now we’ve got the weight down I’d love to do that.

"I’d love my own football game show. And if the good folks at ITV see fit to hand me one, I‘d grab it with both hands."
