Chatting to the Guardian this week, the former Great British Bake Off champion explained why she said no to show bosses, stating that it would alter her view of the show.
"I got asked to do Strictly, but I said no," she began. "I love the idea, but have no rhythm and I enjoy watching it too much."

That's why I can't watch Bake Off like I used to." Nadiya, who won the hearts of the nation back in 2015 when she was crowned winner of Bake Off, revealed she also turned down an opportunity to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. "I got asked to do I'm a Celebrity this year, and a bit of me regrets not doing it," she said. "It's just so cold in Wales: if I'm going to have cockroaches in my pants I'd rather it be in the sun, thanks. Still, I can't help wondering what it would have been like."MORE: Tom Fletcher unveils incredible new tattoo tribute to Giovanna and childrenThe baker and author is fronting a new show, Nadiya's American Adventure The Bake Off star turned TV star is set to appear in a brand new series, Nadiya's American Adventure.
