Candice Brown wants her own cookery show.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ winner is about to take part in the forthcoming series of ‘Dancing on Ice’, which will hit screens in January, but she has admitted she’d love to front her own series one day that focuses solely on her passion for baking.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I am under no illusion that it’s such a busy area and some amazing people so if there’s a little gap in the market somewhere for me then I would love to take it. We’ll have to wait and see."
And, although she’s jumped at the chance to slip into skates, the lipstick lover would turn down the chance to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ because she’s not a good mover.
She explained: "Oh gosh, no I wasn’t approached for ‘Strictly…’. I’m good at jumping but I don’t know about dancing. I think I would drive myself mad."
The 32-year-old champion has started training for the skating competition and will go up against the likes of Coronation Street’s Antony Cotton and Brooke Vincent, track and field athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton, cricketer Monty Panesar, rugby hunk Max Evans, Jake Quickenden, Love Island’s Kem Cetinay, Good Morning Britain’s weatherman Alex Beresford, TV personality Donna Air, Hollyoaks’ actress Stephanie Waring and Bucks Fizz’s Cheryl Baker when they hit the ice in front of the nation.
It’s also been confirmed that Jason Gardiner has reclaimed his position on the judging panel alongside Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean – who previously mentored the contestants but have now switched positions – and Diversity dancer Ashley Banjo.
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will host the show.
