Martin Roberts wants to take part in Strictly Come Dancing

The 'Homes Under The Hammer' presenter took part in ITV's 'Strictly The Real Full Monty' last month, which was inspired by the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition and saw famous faces strip off and perform choreography to raise awareness of cancer.

But the 58-year-old TV star has revealed he's hoping to be a part of the 2022 lineup for the latter show after 'Strictly The Real Full Monty' turned out to be completely different to what he was expecting.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, he said: “I was actually asking the people at 'Strictly' if there’s any chance they might actually take a phone call from me this year!

“I’ve ended up doing 'Strictly The Real Full Monty' which wasn’t quite what I was anticipating.

“But, actually that's been just incredible and is something I'm so proud to have done."

However, he admitted taking part on the rival broadcaster's documentary might have scuppered his chances.

He added: “I mean, hopefully it shows I can dance.

“Whether or not it’s a nail in the coffin for my chances on 'Strictly' I don't know.

“It might be the opposite. Maybe they'll go ‘Actually, you know what he's a good sport, he gives it his all and actually he can dance.''

He concluded: “Who knows? Wouldn’t that be great?”

Martin took part in 'The Real Full Monty' in memory of his best friend and colleague Dave, who died after being diagnosed with bowel cancer.

He was joined on the show by the likes of Blue's Duncan James, model Christine McGuinness and 'EastEnders' legend Laila Morse.

Martin was dreading taking his kit off in front of the nation.

He said previously: “I am dedicating my appearance on 'Strictly The Real Full Monty' to Dave, and I know he’d be laughing his socks off at the prospect.

"He’d also know what a huge thing this is for me. I’m not body confident. I was badly bullied for being fat as a child, and those insecurities are hard to dislodge. I’ve happily managed 35 years on TV without revealing any part of my private anatomy, so the idea of getting stark b****** naked in front of millions of TV viewers and a 3,000-strong audience fills me with utter horror.”
