Joe McElderry wants to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The former 'X Factor' winner thinks it would be "fun" to take part in BBC One's dance contest which pairs a star with a professional dancer before hailing a champion at the end of each series.

He told The Sun newspaper: "I would love to do something like 'Strictly Come Dancing'. That would be so much fun. I'm a bit of a frustrated dancer, so that would be nice."

Earlier this week Joe won 'The Jump' after he managed to pull off a 17.5m jump from a 40m ski ramp, beating fellow finalist Donal MacIntyre.

Although he sustained many injuries during his time on Channel 4's winter sports competition he insists he had a great time and would "do it all over again".

He explained: "I had a bruised arm, a bruised thigh, a bruised leg but mostly I was fortunate. It was only bruises. I did the Skeleton, which obviously wasn't shown on TV, but I bashed myself quite badly on the run down and I did fear for my life. I'm not afraid to admit it - I was petrified."

And added: "I would do it all over again. I had so much fun."
