Nigel Harman rejects 'Strictly' offers

Nigel Harman has revealed that he has turned down several offers to star on Strictly Come Dancing.

The former EastEnders star confirmed that he will only compete on the BBC One ballroom show if TV producers stop approaching him with acting work.

Harman's latest TV project, a Channel 4 sitcom called Plus One, hits screens on January 9. The show sees him playing a PE teacher who is obsessed with sex.

"The writers for Plus One have got some great ideas for another series. As for Strictly Come Dancing, well, they do sweetly ask me all the time if I would go on," Harman told the Daily Record.

"Never say never as you don't know when you may need to pay your mortgage, but I don't want to at the moment. Besides, I once worked with Craig Revel Horwood. We are mates. I know he will mercilessly take the p*** out of me and I've told him as long as he is on there, I am steering clear."

Former Holby City actor Tom Chambers was voted as the show's latest winner last month.
