Summary
- Lee Mack feels he lacks the polish to host Strictly Come Dancing.
- He humorously suggested The Krankies would be a chaotic choice.
- Mack's quiz show "The 1 per cent Club" confirmed for two more series.
Funnyman Lee Mack has confessed he lacks the polish and "sparkle" required to host a show like Strictly Come Dancing. While speculation mounts over potential replacements for current hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, Mack feels his appearance would not be a fit for the popular ballroom competition.
When asked about his potential candidacy for the hosting role, the "Not Going Out" star humorously suggested the return of comedy duo The Krankies. He envisioned their unique style creating a "cameraman's nightmare" but a potentially entertaining addition to Saturday night television.
In other news, Mack's award-winning quiz show, "The 1 per cent Club," has been confirmed for two more series, extending its run since its debut in 2022. The Southport-born comedian also recently discussed his involvement in "Celebrity Traitors," clarifying that despite jokes, he is not participating in the show.
Mack, who was nominated for a BAFTA for "The 1 per cent Club," also has a notable history with the sitcom "Not Going Out" and as a team captain on "Would I Lie To You?."
