Linda Martin 'wouldn't touch' reality TV dance shows like Dancing With The Stars

Eurovision legend Linda Martin has said she will never take part in reality TV dance shows like Dancing With The Stars.

Linda carved out a TV career as a judge on the first, second and fourth seasons of RTÉ's You're a Star and on Charity You're a Star in summer 2005 and summer 2006.

The Why Me? hitmaker also served as one of Louis Walsh's behind-the-scenes team on the first series of ITV's The X Factor.

But Linda said she won’t ever take part in reality TV like Dancing With The Stars – admitting she doesn’t watch reality shows like Big Brother and Love Island.

However, she admitted she could be tempted if she was asked to appear on The Masked Singer, which saw Westlife’s Mark Feehily come third in the UK competition as RoboBunny.

Linda told us: “That’s music. Yeah, that’s a different one now but I haven’t been asked but this is the God’s honest truth, I have never seen a reality TV programme – I’m talking about Love Island or Big Brother, I have never ever watched one of those and I don’t intend to.

“No, I wouldn’t touch them (Dancing With The Stars and I’m A Celebrity).”
