Alan Carr confirms Strictly Come Dancing rumours

Alan Carr has confirmed he was approached by producers of \'Strictly Come Dancing\'.

The 42-year-old comedian has been the subject of rumours for the 2019 line-up of the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition, and has now confirmed he would be willing to take part as long as he doesn\'t have to visit odd locations to practice his dances.

Speaking on ITV talk show \'Loose Women\' on Tuesday (18.12.18), he said: "Oh my listen. Listen! I will do it but next year I\'ve got a busy year, I\'m going on tour!

"They cornered me and they said, \'Would you do it?\' and I would do it but I hate those VTs where you know, \'We\'re doing Salsa so we\'re off to a dips factory, you know what I mean?

"They go to Chester Zoo or a museum, but I\'m like, I need to be in the studio now doing the Argentine Tango. Step away from the rhino - I want to stick a rose in my mouth and do the thing!"

The talent show is famous for its over the top outfits, and the \'Chatty Man\' star is no stranger to dressing up, as he recently completely transformed himself in to Jennifer Lopez for heat magazine\'s Christmas issue.

The TV host was taking part in the magazine\'s annual Stars Dress Up Christmas special and decided to "push the boundaries" for the good of his fans.

Speaking to the publication, he said: "You know I would do anything for heat. Two years ago, I went full frontal as a man when I was Orlando Bloom and the lovely David [Walliams] was Katy Perry, so I thought, \'How can I push the boundaries? How can I stretch myself for the heat readers?\' So, I went full frontal as a woman!

"And the experience was lovely, although I do wonder if J-Lo\'s cape was as itchy as this one. Honestly, it was so scratchy, it was as if my psoriasis had come back - like wearing green eczema. Also, because I had no protection underneath, I felt like the material exfoliated my private parts - they\'re looking much younger now and have a vibrant glow."
