Louise Minchin speaks out on Strictly Come Dancing debut as host shares concerns
Louise Minchin has hinted at a potential move from hosting her podcast to Strictly Come Dancing. Her admission comes after the former BBC Breakfast presenter cheered on her former colleague Dan Walker, 45, who was a contestant on the BBC show last year.
Louise, 56, stepped down from BBC Breakfast last year and has since been exploring different avenues outside of early morning presenting.
The mum-of-two currently fronts two podcasts including Her Spirit and Push Your Peak.
Back in November, Louise endured three weeks at Gwyrch Castle after she took part in the ITV series, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Speaking on her recent podcast with Strictly star Karen Hauer, 39, the presenter shared her thoughts about taking part in the programme.

“It is tough,” Karen replied. “I think that if anyone wants to do Strictly, as a professional or as a celebrity, your activity levels, your stamina, the way that your body is, has to be at a top peak.”
The professional dancer added: “You can’t come into Strictly cold.
“Especially for celebrities, for the people who are not used to doing what we’re doing, they have to go to the gym.”
She concluded: “You have to go for runs. Getting movement into your body. Releasing your muscles. Getting your body used to that.”
