Carol Vorderman says she hated her stint on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing

Television personality Carol Vorderman revealed in a podcast interview that she "hated" her experience on the BBC reality series Strictly Come Dancing and vowed never to appear on the show again. She also said she would never do Big Brother, describing it as something that would cancel her before she even entered.

Vorderman, a long‑time presenter of Countdown, discussed a contract dispute with the BBC over the science programme Tomorrow's World, which required exclusive rights and threatened her role on Countdown. The broadcaster eventually agreed to her terms, allowing her to continue presenting on both programmes.
