Lady Colin Campbell eyes Strictly Come Dancing to afford living in lavish castle

Lady Colin Campbell is reportedly eyeing up a spot on the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing in the hopes of receiving a hefty fee.

The 70-year-old socialite, who already appeared on I'm A Celebrity in the past, admitted that she would jump at the chance of starring on any television show.

Speaking to the Express, Lady C explained that all her public appearances were purely to raise money for the running of her home, Castle Goring.

The television personality also joked that her television stints were essentially "whoring for goring.”

"I will consider anything that pays enough to assist with the running of Castle Goring," she told the publication.

"I make no bones about it. I do all the public appearances, I do them purely for Castle Goring."

Lady C continued: "That’s why I say I’m, “Whoring for Goring” because if it wasn’t for Goring, you wouldn’t see me for dust except when I write a book.

"I keep my private life, private, and always have."

Colin instantly fell in love with Castle Goring in West Sussex and immediately bought the Grade I listed home.

The royal writer is also not unknown to reality television and has starred on several popular television shows in the past.

Lady C took part in the 15th series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! but left the show after feeling 'bullied' by other contestants.

More recently, the socialite enlisted the help of the Celebs Go Dating specialists to find herself the perfect partner.

Although the Strictly Come Dancing lineup is yet to be announced, the show is expected to make a triumphant return later this year.

Lady C joins a long list of celebrities that have expressed hopes of landing a spot on the coveted BBC show.
