She would also face stiff competition from Olympic hero Victoria Pendleton, who revealed she would love to take part.
She said recently: “Well I tell you what if they do ring me I'd be very interested I have to say. The idea of being very glamorous, it definitely appeals to me. After wearing Lycra suits and tracksuits for so long and not a lot of make-up I think yeah that would be good fun."
