Rumoured Strictly Come Dancing contestant Clara Amfo has admitted that she would love to be on the show.

The 36-year-old Radio 1 DJ is thought to be in talks about becoming part of the lineup for this year's series, which is due to begin in late October.

Asked about the rumours, Amfo told Metro: "It's an amazing show and I'd be honoured if they asked me, I'm just a fan of the show.

"I've got friends who've done it – Dev [Griffin] from Radio 1 did it and he was robbed. It's such an amazing show but I'm just a fan. I'm just a fangirl."

Other celebrities linked with this year's show include Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing, Westlife singer Mark Feehily and presenter Melanie Sykes.
