Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she hopes to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing next year.
After quitting as a judge on rival reality show The X Factor earlier this year, Osbourne turned down an offer to be on this year's Strictly out of respect for her former series.
"I did think about [the offer]," she said, speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival today. "I really have a passion for the show, but I said 'no' because it would look so rotten of me."
She added: "Hopefully next year I can do it."
Osbourne also claimed that the reason she quit The X Factor was to do a new variety show for Fox in the US.
"I adored the show and it had done so much for me, but it was time for me to go," she insisted. "I was talking to a network in America about doing a show with my family - and I couldn't do both."
