Mark Wright has denied rumours his wife Michelle Keegan is starring in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The current bookies’ odds for the Our Girl actress, 31, to get her dancing shoes on and hit the dance floor are 2/1.
However, during an appearance on Friday’s Good Morning Britain, Mark laughed off the reports, saying Michelle is too “busy” with other TV projects.

Discussing Michelle’s odds to appear on the show, host Ben Shephard asked Mark: “In the paper, they’re getting excited about the new Strictly line-up and Mrs Wright is on the list.
“She’s 2/1 to be going in – is she?”
After laughing at the reports, Mark said if Michelle was joining the competition, she hasn’t told him.
He replied: “Not that I know of. If she’s going to be in some of them grubs in the jungle or dancing on Strictly, she’s doing it without telling me!
“I don’t think so, she’s busy. She’s got a new show coming up at the end of this year that I’m sure is going to be announced very soon.”
Presenter Ranvir Singh then asked about how he would feel about Michelle getting “up close and personal” with a “lovely dancer” if she did appear on the show.
Mark, who appeared on Strictly in 2014, laughed at her question, saying: “Oh stop it! Don’t ask silly questions.”
He added: “As long as she’s dancing with me when she gets home that’s all that matters.”
Earlier this month, former Coronation Street Michelle revealed why she won’t do the show during an appearance on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners Podcast.
When asked if she’s doing the show this year, Michelle said: “Everyone asks this question and I’ll be honest, watching [Mark] do it terrified me.
“The idea of the live audience terrifies me.”
Although Michelle may not be doing the show this year, there are plenty of other famous faces rumoured to be taking part, including Scarlett Moffatt, Coronation Street’s Catherine Tyldesley, Capital FM radio host Vick Hope and 80s television presenter Anneka Rice.
