OHMYGOSSIP — Gok Wan is too “terrified” to take part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 46-year-old fashion guru has been asked to appear in both the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition and ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’, but he doesn’t have the “confidence” to strut his stuff on the dance floor.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I have been asked to do both and, quite often, I’ll see whether I would do it or not.
“Believe it or not, I just don’t have the confidence to do it. I know that I would be terrified before I went onto the dance floor and I just don’t think I’ve got it in me.
“I really enjoy doing my job and I really enjoy being on camera, but I like being on camera with stuff that I know about so I would find it really intimidating.”
However, the ‘How To Look Good Naked’ presenter was able to boost his confidence after being isolated alone during the coronavirus lockdown.
He said: “I’ve basically got four full-time jobs, so I was so tired and so busy all the time. Then, all of a sudden, my world stopped. I couldn’t use work as a form of escapism, so I had to sit and think and analyse what was going on in my world…
“I’d always had this slight hang-up of not being intelligent enough. I’ve tried my hardest to be an expert in different areas because I wanted to prove to people that I have a brain. I’ve become stronger and more confident as I’ve got older but there’s still a niggly thing in the back of my head and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.
“But, weirdly, lockdown helped in a way. It taught me to sit down and read every newspaper religiously. I watched documentaries and I formed an opinion about coronavirus…
“During lockdown, many people questioned their mental capability and personal strength, analysed relationships with friends and work – everything – and I was the same.
“But lovely things have come out of it too. I’ve been cooking up a storm and delivering food to my neighbours, and that kind of thing really brings communities together.”
