Dermot Bannon hints he's considering taking part in next year's Dancing With The Stars

Celebrity architect Dermot Bannon has hinted he might sign up to do Dancing With The Stars next year.

The Dubliner is returning to our screens this Sunday on RTE One with his hit show Room To Improve.

But the 49-year-old admitted he was already eyeing up another RTE One show.

Speaking to Jennifer Zamparelli on RTE 2fm today, Dermot said: “Would I ever do it [DWTS]? I have two answers, one is from the heart and one is from the head.”

Dermot confessed his heart says ‘yes’ but his head says ‘no’, as he’d have to take so much time off work.

He said: “Well you see it’s 12 weeks isn’t it? Of course I’m assuming I’d get to the final…”

Dermot then asked Jennifer, who co-hosts the show with Nicky Byrne, how long she thinks he’d last.

She replied: “I think you would do really well because I think you’d get a huge public vote…”

After Dermot said, “You’re supposed to say because I’m a good dancer,” she responded, “Well, I haven’t seen you move.”

When asked if he can actually dance, the architect confessed: “I think I can. But that’s at like weddings and a nightclub, so there’s alcohol involved isn’t there…”

Room To Improve airs on Sunday on RTE One at 9.30pm.
