The 'Emmerdale' star - who is known for playing lovable vet Rhona Goskirk in the soap - has admitted she's not keen on competing on a celebrity-based programme because it's not her style but, if she had to choose one, she would quite like to slip into some ballroom shoes for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
