I would do it, as well as IACGMOOH, but not CBB which would be too humiliating.
If you were famous....

If I was famous I hope I'd also be rich and I wouldn't do Strictly in a million years! It's MUCH too much hard work! 
What I would do is book private lessons with a pro like Matt Cutler or Ian Waite and also throw my money about to get good seats at the live shows!

Strictly is the only reality show I'd even consider doing.
DOI, which is the only other one that interests me, would be completely out given that I have absolutely no natural sense of balance whatsoever - I can't ride a bike or roller skate, I've been known to fall flat on my face on completely smooth, non-slippery surfaces for no reason and I have problems just walking down stairs. So the idea of strapping on a pair of ice skates scares the living daylights out of me.
As for Big Brother and the jungle, no way on god's green earth! I can't understand why anyone would possibly want to do either of those.

I'd probably take it way too seriously and be hospitalised with exhaustion, like Natalie 
Also, 70% of my body is tattooed so I scare small children and would probably cause Terry to have a meltdown.
I'd love to spend 3 months dancing though, and wear all that glitter!

I'd love to be partnered with Anton - at least he treats his partners like a lady, unlike the rest who appear to be very bossy and bad tempered, and treat their partners as things to be bashed into shape.
I think he'd be very patient even with a 70 year-old over-weight arthritic.
Yes I'd do it but only of all contestants stayed in for the whole series and the winner was the one with the most overall votes and if there were no cameras! I haven't thought this through.
Really hard to choose a partner though. Pasha or a come back for Matthew would be my partners of choice. Maybe even Artem for the laugh.

And I think you'll do an amazing charleston!
A friend of mine has a high enough media profile that she might get asked to do Series 16
I aske her if she would ever do SCD and she said never..doesn't want total strangers commenting on her boobs

Me too - in a heart beat if it meant I got to dance with Anton. That's the thing for me though I would insist on choosing my partner - second favourite would be Vincent. I would probably need a foot transplant though as mine, sadly, don't have wings
Most of the new ones would leave me like Susanna, looking like I was dancing with my son. Brendan is good, and nice, but too earnest. James looks like he could be fun - or crabby. Artem would scare me to death.
I would have to give up coming in here though!
No way. I would love the one to one training, but I'm pretty sure I'd be the Kate Garroway, only fat :/
Oh I'd love to do it and also to come on here to find out what my personality was like and why people adored me or couldn't take to me, what names I was being called and whether I was false or real.

Although Craig would probably say I 'failed to characterise' adequately!
A friend of a friend is a pro dancer on the Finnish version (no, she didn't dance with Ristomatti!) and although I am lacking the youth/talent/looks/ training to really be a pro, I think I'd rather do the show from that side of the partnership, it sounds a bit less mental.
(Also, I'd rather eat a witchety grub than partner James!)

.......or fake or smug or up yourself or cold and hard eyed or willing to climb over piles of corpses to win.......
And other stuff like that.
Yeah, that would be fun.

Or having a torrid affair with your dance partner!

Either that or there would be no chemistry between us. Or we'd be pretending there was no chemistry between us to hide the torrid affair. I'd be ripped to shreds until the night I was voted out when I'd suddenly get lots of fans due to way I went out with dignity.
Hmmm...I think I'd quite like to be having an affair but denying it all through the series and not even looking at my partner to 'prove' it and then be caught on camera numerous times crying if I stepped on his toe or poked him in the ribs with a sharp elbow. Then, after the show finishes, we'd be 'papped' holding hands and have to admit finally that yes, we are in fact in a romantic relationship.....

Private one-to-one lessons at a decent dance school. They all do them.

I wouldn't worry about the 'fat' bit, female celebs are all 'fat' except for the ones that are 'anorexic'.
There were some papped pictures of Aliona at the beach on the daily fail website last summer, pretty much every comment featured the words 'fat thighs' or 'tree trunks', which is absolutely ridiculous.

That gives them series 12-15 to run out of anyone else to ask...

I'd just steer clear of here and the tabloids.”

No because I have no sense of rhythm and I'm lazy. This is why I enjoy watching other people dance - it's a sense of appreciation watching others do what I can't.

If someone put a gun to my head and made me do it - then I'd want to be partnered by Robin or Kevin - Robin seems lovely and someone who is happy to make the most of his partners rather than expect them to be brillaint.
