Former TOWIE star turned TV and radio presenter Mark Wright has caused quite a buzz since it was announced that he would be taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Talking about why he decided to do that show when he doesnāt consider himself a mover, Mark said, āI just think itās something you canāt turn down. Itās an incredible show, the best show on telly. Iāve never danced before, learned anything like this in my life ā itās a huge challenge and if I can conquer it then Iāll be very happy.ā
Is he a competitive person? āI am competitive in certain things, like boxing and football, but I wonāt be competitive in this. I want to do well for myself and each week that goes on Iāll learn a new dance and Iāve never learned a danceā¦. Maybe if I got to the end and I was in the final Iād be competitive. But at this point I donāt feel too competitive.ā
How far does Mark think heāll get in the competition? āGenuinely if I donāt go out in the first three Iāll be ecstatic!ā
Strictly Come Dancing returns at 8pm Sunday on BBC One. Watch Mark’s launch interview below:
