A BBC radio star has revealed that she turned down Strictly Come Dancing, leading her mum to refuse to speak to her for a week.
Edith Bowman, 50, appeared on The One Show and host Alex Jones began by saying: “First of all Edith, we hear that your mum isn’t going to be happy that we’re not going to reveal you as one of this year’s Strictly contestants.”
The radio star couldn’t help but laugh as she replied: “Oh yes sorry mum, sorry, not this year I’m afraid, no.”
Alex went on to ask Edith if her mum, Eleanor, really wants her to take part in the show, to which she replied: “She didn’t speak to me for a week once when I got asked once to do it.
“I kept ringing her and she wasn’t answering.”
Edith’s Strictly confession comes after the final three names for the new series were announced.
The One Show made the big reveal last night, with Nick Knowles, Paul Merson and Sam Quek officially confirmed as the final trio to join the star-studded dance competition.
Nick, Paul and Sam will join eleven other stars who have had already been confirmed to be strutting their stuff under the glitterball.
