Strictly's Clara Amfo shares her lust list because 'women want their kicks too'

Radio 1’s Clara Amfo will be hot to foxtrot in more ways than one when she hits Strictly Come Dancing.

The daytime DJ will be hoping to impress more than just the judges when she waltzes on to the dance floor next month.

Clara, 36, has admitted she feels horny and fancies so many people.

Topping her lust list are Normal People star Paul Mescal, Liverpool footballer Virgil van Dijk and singer Andre 3000.

The BBC radio host revealed her celebrity crushes after binge watching 12-part drama Normal People in a day.

She said of Paul Mescal: “I don’t know the guy personally but I wouldn’t mind. He is definitely on my list.

“I was like ‘Wow, men. Men of Sligo...I am about. I’m here’.

“I fancy so many people. I have got a big crush on Virgil van Dijk. He is very attractive. He is fit.”

But her ultimate man is Outkast rapper Andre 3000.

She said: “I am convinced we are going to get married. I love him so much. He is just magical.

“One time I was in New York and I went to a pizza parlour and they had a picture of him up there with all the staff. He had a piece of pizza and looked angelic.”

She said a lot of advertising is aimed at straight male guys and what they think is sexy.

“But women are horny, too. No matter who you fancy or no matter who you date. We want to get our kicks.”

Clara, who is currently single, is likely to get plenty of excitement when she starts competing in Strictly against the likes of Men Behaving Badly star Caroline Quentin, 60, funnyman Bill Bailey, 55, former Wanted singer Max George, 32, and boxer Nicola Adams, 37.

The live shows are starting on October 24.

She said: “I have been isolating alone. I have been consciously single for a while. I have been actively dating for a long time. I have had some hits and some misses.

“Last year I decided I have to take care of myself. Stop taking rubbish.

“Hand on heart I’ve had the best year just looking after me and just remembering and finding out what I like.”

Speaking to Laura Whitmore’s Castaway podcast, she said: “I am just living my best life, you know.”
