Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold confirms he’s turned down reality show ‘many many times’ for embarrassing reason

GOOD Morning Britain star Richard Arnold has revealed he’s turned down a big reality show “many, many times”.

The veteran entertainment broadcaster, 54, has spent decades reporting on the biggest shows on telly, but is less keen to be part of them.

Richard has said no to joining the cast of Dancing On Ice repeatedly, despite the best efforts of its stars and former Olympic skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Speaking to the Ameliarate Through Wine podcast, he said: “They’ve asked me constantly, Torvill and Dean, to do it, which is very flattering.

“They believe that everyone with a bit of dedication and a bit of heart can do it, but I have such a fat head, which is quite common in television I’m told, large heads. I look like a Pez dispenser.

“My centre of gravity is so high I can’t stand on ice, never mind skate on it, but put me in a Cuban heel and I’m fine on a dance floor.”

While he won’t be gliding across the rink any time soon, Dickie could be going Down Under next winter.

I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec are also keen for him to head into the jungle as a campmate.

And Richard didn’t totally reject the idea when pressed by his Good Morning Britain co-stars Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins earlier this month.

Richard said: “I’m at a time of life, Ben, where a door opens and you walk through it, wouldn’t you, as long as your knees could make it? Do you know what I mean? So I don’t know.”

Amelia Singer has launched her first ever podcast, ‘Ameliarate Through Wine’ , where she interviews a range of celebrities pairing their personalities, core values and careers to wines. Available to listen on Apple & Spotify.
