Strictly Come Dancing want Steph McGovern as a contestant but the presenter is not ready to take part - here's why
August 21, 2022 - 17:55 BST hellomagazine.com Every year Steph McGovern is approached to take part in Strictly Come Dancing, and every year she turns it down – including this one."I think it's a brilliant show. And I’ve got some friends on it again this year, including Helen Skelton, who I'm really pleased is doing it.
Taking part would also open her family up to the sort of scrutiny that Steph has tried very hard to avoid, having kept both her girlfriend’s identity and her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter's name out of the public domain."My family would probably want to be there [to support me], but that would expose them to newspaper coverage and everything else.
"I can cope with the scrutiny, but they haven't chosen a public life. Maybe when my little girl's older and wants to do stuff, I'll talk to her about it. But not now." Although fitter and healthier than ever before, this could have been the optimum year for Steph to spray on the tan and shimmy in sequins.The 40-year-old TV presenter has dropped two dress sizes and conquered IBS with which she struggled for years, especially during her pregnancy, having adopted the techniques devised by health and wellbeing expert Dr Julia Jones, who appeared as a guest on her show last May.
