Noel Gallagher turns down Strictly Come Dancing

Noel Gallagher has turned down the chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, according to reports.

The award-winning musician reportedly declined the offer, citing a busy schedule as the reason.

“I’m flattered,” The Sun quotes Gallagher as saying. “I’d have done it and all, as I’ve recently mastered the sticky task of c***** while dancing.

“Sadly though, I’m a bit busy. Maybe next time… ”

“Strictly always set their targets extremely high,” a programme insider added.

“The show gets huge viewing figures and the bookers behind the show are very much of the opinion, ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get’. They knew from the off it was ambitious, but they thought it might be something that tickled him.”

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One later this year
