The infamous ‘Strictly curse’ could be preventing the world from witnessing Richard Osman as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
Author Richard, 54, has clarified that while he is often linked with a spot on Strictly Come Dancing, he doesn’t see it ever happening.
And while Richard offered a few reason why fans are unlikely to see him on the BBC One dance floor, it seems the ‘Strictly curse’ is also in his thinking.

Will Richard Osman ever appear on Strictly?
Pointless Celebrities presenter Richard was discussing the controversy concerning Thomas Skinner’s involvement in the 2025 series on his The Rest Is Entertainment podcast when casting him on the show was brought up as a possibility.
Despite being a favourite in the press when predictions pop up about which famous faces could take part, Richard seemed to rule out ever signing up.
He told podcast co-host Marina Hyde: “I would never do Strictly anyway.”
One reason for not putting on his dancing shoes is, the 6 ft 7 in reckons, he is too tall.
