POPULAR RTE chef Donal Skehan has revealed he would “love” to do Dancing With The Stars – but it seems “timing” is the only issue.
The Dubliner has admitted he is a huge fan of the “brilliant” dance competition and has not ruled out joining the cast in the future.
In a quick Q&A segment on his Instagram story, Donal was asked would he ever trade making recipes for the ballroom on DWTS.
To fans delight, the 38-year-old wrote: “I would love to do it, it looks like so much fun.”
However, he confessed: “But, sadly, I would never have the time.”
The dad-of-two highlighted how “brilliant” this year’s contestants were and admitted that he watches it every weekend.
The TV star even told fans that he would be visiting the DWTS studio in a couple of weeks – but this time, as an audience member.
Donal and fan favourite judge, Arthur Gourounlian, have been pals for years and the presenter said he was “looking forward to seeing him in action”.
So, although Donal has narrowed it down to being too busy, it seems the Irish foodie would definitely join the cast if the time was right!
And RTE viewers were recently left in stitches after Donal and Arthur‘s episode of High Road, Low Road aired.
The hit travel show pairs top celebrities and sends them off to popular holiday destinations.
Although both celebrities are headed to the same location, they have very different experiences.
Each star is presented with an envelope: in one, is everything they need for a five-star holiday; inside the other, it’s the holiday from hell.
It’s the luck of the draw who gets what.
Long-time friends Arthur and Donal travelled to Madeira.
On the high road, Arthur enjoyed a luxurious five-star hotel in the heart of Funchal, the island’s main city.
He was put up in a suite that boasted panoramic views of the ocean and was priced at €784 per night.

On the low road, Donal took a bus to his more humble three-star €83 a night hotel room that had a twin bed and en-suite and kitchen.
However, in his latest Instagram Q&A, Donal was asked if himself and Arthur would ever make a show together after the success of High Road, Low Road.
The author hilariously threw a did at Arthur as he responded: “Honestly the amount of messages I got after doing the show with @gourounlian, but I just don’t know if I could.
“It’s like spending time with a human fog horn.”
Donal even referred to Arthur’s husband, Brian Dowling as a “saint” for “putting up with him”
