It is one of the most sought-after jobs in television – a primetime crown jewel watched by millions every weekend.
But Alison Hammond has turned down the cha-cha-challenge of presenting Strictly Come Dancing, saying she is already too busy.
The This Morning and Great British Bake Off presenter, 51, discussed the show as speculation grows over who will replace long-standing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
She said: ‘I have, actually [been approached]. You didn’t expect that answer, did you? I can’t lie, I’m incapable.
‘I’m so busy, babes, that I’m not sure it’s going to happen. It’s unrealistic. I’m so happy they considered me but, like Traitors, I can’t do it because everything clashes.’
Speaking to Radio Times, she added: ‘I would have loved to have done it – anybody that gets it, they’re going to land the perfect job. But I’m so happy with everything I’ve got. What would I drop to do Strictly?’

In a shocking twist that left fans stunned, the complicated relationship between Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek takes another dramatic turn — this time with unexpected pregnancy news that changes everything.
It all begins after an emotional and intimate moment between the two. What seemed like a fleeting connection quickly turns into something far more serious when Burgess discovers she’s pregnant — and Ruzek is the father.
The news hits hard. Not just for Ruzek, but for Burgess herself, who finds herself completely overwhelmed by the reality of the situation.
With a dangerous job, an unstable life, and a relationship still full of unresolved tension, Burgess is forced to face the hardest question of her life:
Should she keep the baby… or let it go?
At first, she hesitates. The timing feels wrong, the risks feel too high. Ruzek, equally shaken, struggles to process it all — but makes one thing clear: he will stand by her, no matter what she decides.
The pressure builds as both of them realize that this isn’t just about love anymore — it’s about responsibility, fear, and the unknown future ahead.
After a deeply emotional case, Burgess begins to see things differently. The idea of becoming a mother slowly starts to feel right. Against all odds, she decides to keep the baby.
For a brief moment, it seems like hope has returned.
But then… everything falls apart.
During a dangerous mission, Burgess is brutally attacked. The consequences are devastating — she loses the baby before it ever has a chance to be born.
The loss shatters both of them.
In an instant, hope turns into heartbreak, leaving fans completely devastated by one of the most emotional storylines in the series.
The tragedy doesn’t just take the baby — it leaves a deep emotional scar between them. Burgess shuts down, drowning in grief, while Ruzek is left feeling helpless and broken.
And yet, somehow, this shared pain begins to pull them back toward each other.
