Nadia Sawalha has revealed that she would decline a Strictly Come Dancing audition because she is aware of the “cost.”
While the Loose Women panellist is no stranger to reality shows, having starred on Celebrity MasterChef, she will avoid certain ones, especially with claims of a Strictly curse circulating.
Speculations about potential blossoming romances between celebrity contestants and professional dancers have swirled for the past 18 years that Strictly has aired on the BBC, a phenomenon known as the ‘Strictly curse’ that has targeted the likes of Seann Walsh, Stacey Dooley, and Rachel Riley.
Nadia stated on Friday’s Loose Women that her spouse would be the reason she would turn down job possibilities if Alex Jones revealed that her ex had stolen an interview from her to advance his career.
‘You know, it would be quite uncommon for him to say he didn’t want me to do a job,’ she told Kaye Adams, who featured on the latest series of Strictly last year, Jane Moore, and Linda Robson.
‘But there would be certain jobs – I’ve spoken about this before and Mark’s spoken openly about this, that he really did, years ago, suffer with jealousy.
‘Like, between us. We’re both very fiery Scorpios, all of that.’
Nadia, who married Mark in 2002 and has two children with him, went on to say, ‘And he’s done so much work on that and I find that so admirable, and it’s just brilliant how much work he’s put into it.
‘So there’s certain jobs that I just wouldn’t do.
‘Not because he would say to me, “Don’t do it,” because he never would, but I would just feel that would be a difficult thing.’
She joked about being unable to turn down a Brad Pitt love scene offer, before clarifying: ‘No, I wouldn’t do a big, like love… I wouldn’t do Strictly or something like that.
‘Just because I know it could be difficult.
‘If I went home now and said, “They’ve asked me to do Strictly,” he’d say, “Oh, great, do it.”
‘But I know possibly what the cost could be.’
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV1.
