Rochelle said that she would “never” join the main show
Rochelle Humes said she was “in a bad way” after her time on Strictly Come Dancing. The This Morning star’s friend JB Gill, who was in JLS with her husband Marvin Humes, is participating in the BBC show this year.
However, Rochelle stated she would “never” join the main show after her difficult experience during the Christmas special in 2013. She told Closer magazine: “I basically got dragged around the dance floor by the lovely Ian Waite, and I was the most nervous I could be.
“I was in a bad way, I don’t know how anybody does that, week in, week out. I could never… and the respect that I have for the people that do Strictly, it’s just beyond.”

Despite not wanting to sign up for the full Strictly experience, Rochelle did turn up to watch JB and his pro partner Amy Dowden dance. She added: “We went to watch JB last week, and he was so brilliant – he didn’t look nervous at all.”
Rochelle – who has children Alaia, 11, Valentine, seven, and Blake, four, with Marvin – is still keeping busy, and the couple have worked on shows like ‘The Hit List’ together in the past.
The 35-year-old singer explained they both make sure to keep a healthy balance between their work and home life. She said: “We try to set boundaries, and we make sure that we don’t talk shop at home once we’re all done for the day.
“We let that roll into tomorrow. I think it’s important to protect it. If it all rolls into one, then we’ll be up working on something all the time. At least by five o’clock, by the time kids are having dinner, we’ll make sure that work questions are done.”
