Being a while that I’ve watched Strictly
Come Dancing but I will be watching this season. The announcement was made live on The
One Show on Tuesday evening, where Ainsley was a surprise guests joining hosts
Matt Baker and Alex Jones on the sofa.
TV chef and
presenter Ainsley Harriott is the second celebrity contestant to be confirmed
for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
"I must
admit that I do love to dance, but doing it in front of the nation is a whole
different matter!" 58-year-old Ainsley said. "In my day job the only
type of salsa I know about is the one in my recipes, so I am looking forward to
rising to the challenge, bring it on!"
Ainsley is
the second confirmed celebrity taking part in the new series, which starts in
September; on Monday, Jeremy Vine was announced as the first contestant.
Ainsley
commented that his Strictly rival Jeremy, 50, had a "wonderful discipline
about him".
He added:
"Everything he does is structured and he plans it. When it comes to dancing
it is all about the discipline and how much effort you put in. If you put the
time in then you can be a bit more expressive."
Ainsley, who
hosted BBC One cookery show Ready Steady Cook for 16 years from 1994 until
2010, also confirmed that he hasn't yet been told who his partner will be.
