Davina McCall says she wouldn't ever take part in a reality television show.

The star's admitted she's been asked numerous times to appear on different shows, but she wouldn't enter one in which viewers see all sides of her as she wants to keep her personal life private.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz she explained: "No, you know what, I have [been asked a lot]. The fact is I think when you're a well known person it's expected of you to talk to press which I love doing but there is a side of me which I keep private, which is you know, the mummy, or the wife - although I do talk a lot about stuff that Matthew and I do, poor Matthew - but there is a bit of me that I keep private.

"I think when you go into a reality show you have to be prepared for people to see all of you.

"People love it when you let it all out but I have to keep a bit just for my family."

She also revealed how her husband wouldn't like her to appear on such a show, because he doesn't want the public to see her sleeping.

"I'm not perfect, I'm sure there are lots of sides of me that probably aren't very nice, but my husband wouldn't let me stay a night in the 'Big Brother' house because he wants to be the only person to see me sleeping, which is a really sweet thing, and I think my children also are like, 'I want to see my mummy wake up, I want mummy to make breakfast for me not for people in a house who she doesn't know'."

Despite her reluctance to go on a reality show, she was almost persuaded to try out Strictly Come Dancing because of the outfits.

"I've been so tempted by 'Strictly' because it's just so lovely isn't it? The dancing and the costumes, but again it's the time that they put in to get that dance amazing on the Saturday, it's non-stop working all week and at the weekends, I just wouldn't see the kids."
