Glenda Gilson admitted Dancing with the Stars put her off dancing for good - saying it proved that she wasn’t made for the ballroom.
The TV presenter was the second celebrity eliminated from the 2020 series on RTE, and previously told how taking part in the show made her feel “vulnerable”.
And whilst she said she enjoyed her time learning to move on the hit series, she admitted she has no plans to keep on dancing in her own time.
“Not a chance. No, no no. Not even with drink involved,” she told Irish Daily Mirror.
“I am not a dancer. I said it even before I went in there, it didn’t improve my dancing skills. If anything, it proved to me that I couldn’t dance so I left it alone.
“Listen, I enjoyed it, but it was tough. And I admire anyone who could dance, it is such an amazing thing to do. And I love watching people dance.. But unfortunately these legs don’t have much rhythm.”
After being called off last year due to the pandemic, fans are still waiting to hear whether the dance show will return to the national broadcaster this season, and Glenda said she’d be sorry to see it go for good.
“That was a great production and a great show to work on, and I think everyone really enjoys that on a Sunday night, sitting down to that.
“So I would miss it if it wasn’t on TV, but I’d say it will come back.”
And the celebrity reporter, who is often seen rubbing shoulders with stars on the red carpet from home and away, said she’d be the first to recommend the experience to her well known friends.
“It’s such a good opportunity, why wouldn’t you take it on.
“And it is fun, as well as the nerves. It is full on.”
The former Xpose star is currently on maternity leave after welcoming her second son, Danny Mac, with her husband Rob MacNaughton, last October.
Arriving one day before her first born son, Bobby’s second birthday, the star said the new arrival took some getting used to for their toddler.
But almost a year on, she said her new arrival is in awe of his big brother Bob.
“He’s[Bobby’s] used to him now. At the start he was kind of like ‘this is my turf, who are you’ but he is great with him now.
“Danny is Bobby’s biggest fan, he just adores him and watches him all day long. And this little guy is dying to walk, and dying to get up on things and I think it is as a result of watching Bobby all the time.”
