Why Danny Murphy Will Not Be Taking Part in Strictly Come Dancing
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has revealed that he was invited to BBC's popular dance show Strictly Come Dancing twice but turned it down both times. Murphy said his decision had nothing to do with money and that he prefers his own busy schedule.
Danny Murphy had a successful football career that lasted twenty years. He won several major cups with Liverpool and played nine matches for the England national team. After he retired from football in 2013, he became a well-known media figure by regularly appearing on BBC television and radio programmes.
Murphy has found his place as a pundit, but he says he does not want to appear on some broadcast areas. One of these is Strictly Come Dancing, one of the BBC's most-watched programmes. In recent years, many sports stars have taken to the dance floor on the show. Last year, former England women's international Karen Carney became the first former footballer to win the programme's trophy.
Murphy said he has turned the show down twice. He said he enjoys dancing but has no interest in sequined costumes, and that he has a busy life. He stressed that money played no role in his decision.
