Kate Garraway wants to play a "dead body" on ‘Death in Paradise’.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter has admitted she would love to turn her hand to acting, and joked she and her co-star Charlotte Hawkins both like the idea of filming "in a glamorous part of the world" for the BBC crime drama – which is filmed on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
Speaking in the latest issue of OK! Magazine, Kate said: "I’m actually pushing to be a star on ‘Death in Paradise’. Charlotte Hawkins and I both fancy that as it’s in a glamorous part of the world. I would even be happy to be a dead body on that!
"The producers seem quite keen and they said to me they’d be up for it, so that’s going to be my new project!"
Kate, 51, also revealed she would love to make a return to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ 11 years after she was paired with pro Anton du Beke on the show.
She added: "I saw Anton Du Beke the other day and he said they’ve got to get me on the ‘Strictly’ Christmas special this year, so I really would like to do that."
For now, the TV star can be seen on ITV’s breakfast show, and she has spoken out in defence of stand-in showbiz host Spencer Matthews after a stuttering start to his stint on the programme.
She said: "I think he’s great, he’s so lovely. Richard Arnold makes it look very easy, but I think Spencer did a great job. I’d love to have him back. I definitely think we will."
When he made his debut last week, the former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star apologised to viewers after a "wooden" display.
He wrote on Instagram: "Such a huge amount of respect for people who regularly present live television – it’s a skill and it’s not easy.
"Had my first go this morning on @gmb and it’s safe to say that it didn’t go so well… Apologies for my lack of experience and wooden performance. I’ll loosen up and get better with time, hopefully!"
