The title of the show has allusions to the film Strictly Ballroom. The show has run on BBC One since 2004. The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete against each other in a competition to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination.

"So that's something I would consider," she said. Shetty, winner of the Celebrity Big Brother show in January this year after being a victim of racial abuse, said she would never do a Big Brother-type project again.

"I couldn't do with having cameras on me all the time," she said yesterday.

After emerging victorious in the show, she became a household name in the UK, got a doctorate, met the then Prime Minister Tony Blair, launched her own perfume and played the star role in the musical Miss Bollywood which proved to be a great success.
