00:00We've got to be cheeky and ask you before you go about Strictly.

00:02Let's look at his face when we're asking him.

00:04Don't say anything just yet.

00:05Focus in on the efforts here now.

00:06That's a close-up there.

00:07What are you on?

00:08We know that Tess and Claudia are now stepping back from the ballroom.

00:12Everyone here in this building thinks you'd be the perfect next host.

00:16You've done X Factor.

00:17You're used to entertainment shows.

00:19Have you been approached?

00:19Okay, we're zooming in now.

00:20Let's get a good close-up.

00:21Here we go.

00:22Look at his face.

00:22Look at his eyes.

00:23Is he sweating?

00:24He's not sweating.

00:24Oh, he's smoldering.

00:25Oh, he looks good.

00:26Can you confirm or deny?

00:29Deny.

00:29Oh, you'd be great on that.

00:32Would you ever do it?

00:33You know that being an X Factor kid, that's like Julia Roberts sleeping with the enemy.

00:37Simon Brown would not allow that.

00:40Even though the show's not on TV anymore.

00:43He'd still have me do it.

00:43I mean, I was 10 years in that.

00:45You've got to have your loyalties.

00:47We know you love a dance.

00:48Yeah.

00:48On your BBC Radio 2 show.

00:51Well, you say that.

00:52I do dance.

00:53And then after about six months of doing it, I was like to my producer, can we stop doing

00:56it now?

00:57He was like, no.

00:57No, it's a thing.

00:58Because of the social.

00:59We love it on Instagram.

01:00Oh, come on, guys.

01:01No one needs to see this.

01:03Have Strictly ever reached out about you being a contestant on the show?

01:06We had a little chat with him, but I didn't think it was for me.

01:08And would you ever be open to that?

01:10I don't think so.

01:10No.

01:11It's a lot.

01:11It's a lot of work.

01:12We've done the Irish version of Dance With The Stars.

01:13Yeah, it's full on.

01:14It's full on.
