Graham Norton rules out 'Strictly'

Graham Norton has admitted that he would never be brave enough to compete on Strictly Come Dancing.

The BBC TV host, who fronted spinoff series Strictly Dance Fever in 2005 and 2006, claimed that he would only be able to match the performance of last year's ill-fated star Kate Garraway.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it," Norton told the Daily Record. "Some people do get better but others look like they are recovering from an accident. It's just terrible.

"I like to think I'd be the one who learned incredibly quickly and in one week got the key to my dance and then was brilliant, but I've got an awful feeling I'd be more like Kate Garraway."

Strictly Come Dancing returns for a sixth series on BBC One next month.
