Joey Essex wants to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The reality TV star has admitted he would love to appear on the next series of the celebrity ballroom contest, and he thinks he could "easily pull off one of their outfits".
He told The Sun newspaper: "I love to dance but I want to do more cool dancing. Maybe I should go on it and mix it up and do a bit of break-dancing.
"I've never watched it that much, but I've seen it. I think I could easily pull off one of their outfits.
"They're the ones with the diamonds, aren't they? I'd look sick in that."
The 23-year-old star - who was mocked for several dimwitted moments during his time on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' - has revealed he still wants to go back to school because he "didn't really learn much last time".
He said: "I still think I'd fail my GCSEs. I don't know anything. I'd probably learn less."
However, he recently admitted he was too busy for love because of his new show 'Educating Joey Essex'.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I mean, I'm single but I have just been concentrating on the show, really. I'm too busy [for girls] at the moment. Every single day I'm getting up at early hours of the morning doing different things."

'The Voice' judge Ricky Wilson will have his raunchy dancing cut from tonight's show (15.03.14).
A section of the programme - in which the Kaiser Chiefs singer thrusts his groin at fellow judge Kylie Minogue - has been cut from the upcoming broadcast because it was deemed too racy for the family show.
He was said to be gyrating with his hips to put the 'I Should Be So Lucky' hitmaker off as she gave an interview, he said: "I'll give you a treat.
"I have to give you a treat every now and again. I wouldn't mind a return of the favour any time."
However, according to reports in The Sun newspaper the stunt was "too sexual" for the programme's family audience.
An insider revealed: "He's obviously miming having sex, so producers decided to err on the side of caution and bin it.
"It was was a bit of banter but some people might take it the wrong way."
Although Kylie has been a huge boost for the show in its third series, the judge recently admitted she wasn't sure if she'll be returning for a second year.
She said: "I'm already doing it again in Australia, but UK or Australia, I don't know if I could [do another season] because I'm going to be touring. We'll see.
"I am doing 'The Voice' Australia so that will carry on until July. I've got to get through at least this one first, and then two with Australia."

Louis Walsh is in the middle of a 'Britain's Got Talent' fix row after accusations his boy band were "fast-tracked" into the second round.
The music manager and talent show judge's newest group Hometown are said to have been given an easy pass by the panel, with Simon Cowell reportedly doing his colleague a favour by giving the quintet some exposure.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "It seems like yet another talent show fix."
A music industry executive added: "It looks like fast-tracking. They weren't even that good.
"Louis needs a big favour from Simon to help get them off the ground - and he got one."
After their performance, the 54-year-old star was impressed but joked he was disappointed by the prospect of working with Louis.
He told them: "I don't know what's more annoying - the fact you were good o the fact I might have to work with Louis Walsh again."
However, a spokesperson for the show has insisted the group received "no special treatment", noting that Simon, 54, had no idea Louis was managing the group until after their performance.
They said: "Simon had never met the band and did not know who their manager was until they revealed it on stage after their audition. They got no special treatment."

Stephen Mulhern gets mistaken for Ant McPartlin.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' host has admitted some fans get him confused with the show's co-presenter, and joked he is "riding it out" to reap the benefits of the mix-up.
He told The Sun newspaper's TV Magazine: "I always get asked: 'Are you Ant?' I'm riding it out.
"In a hotel the other day, I had forgotten my phone charger. A woman on reception got excited thinking I was Ant and lent me hers. I told Ant - now he thinks I go around pretending to be him."
However, Stephen has joked while Ant and his professional partner Dec Donnelly are two of his only celebrity friends, he wouldn't trust them to give good advice.
He revealed: "Ant and Dec, Emma Willis and Holly Willoughby are proper mates. But that's about it.
"If I had a problem I'd go to Holly, and if I want advice that makes no sense and probably makes things worse, I'll ask Ant and Dec."
He did put his faith in the TV duo to "make it over in the US", and admitted he'd love to visit them if they succeeded.
He said: "I think Ant and Dec will make it over in the US, they work so hard.
"I'll pack their bags if they want. Los Angeles is a lovely place for a holiday. They can put me up in their mansion."

Marvin Humes thinks he's a good shoulder to cry on for contestants on 'The Voice'.
The 28-year-old singer - who is a presenter on the BBC One talent contest - was catapulted to the spotlight in 2008 on 'The X Factor' as part of boy band JLS and insists he can understand what the hopefuls are going through since he's gone though a "similar process".
He said: "I like to think I'm a good shoulder to cry on. Obviously I have been through a similar process before but for us it obviously went very well and we got through every stage. I've been auditioning all my life, and sometimes you get no's. It doesn't mean you're not good at what you do, it just means you might not be right at that particular time."
JLS split last year - after performing together for the last time in December where fans gathered at London's The O2 arena for their 'Goodbye - The Greatest Hits Tour' - and although Marvin admits doing things without Aston Merrygold, JB Gill and Oritsé Williams is a change, he's getting used to it.
Asked whether it's weird without the boys, he told We Love Pop magazine: "Yeah, course it is. But you kind of get used to it. I've been doing stuff no my own for a little while now."

Jacqueline Jossa says Lucy Beale's murder is giving her "sleepless nights".
The 'EastEnders' favourite, who plays Lauren Branning, claims executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins is keeping the identity of Lucy's killer top secret and she is "stressing out" trying to find out who will murder the Walford stalwart played by Hetti Bywater.
Speaking at the UK premiere of 'The Stag' in London's Leicester Square last night (13.03.14), she exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Lauren's storylines are great at the moment ... every single script I'm reading, I'm crying my eyes out.
"And you've got the whole 'who killed Lucy Beale' [storyline]. I don't know who killed her and it's stressing me out! I've had sleepless nights ... no one knows, I don't even know whether Dominic knows."
Jacqueline revealed the cast have even begun taking bets on which character will murder Lucy in the dark new storyline this spring.
She added: "We're all having little bets. Whenever there is a scene, I get a little inkling, like, 'Oh my God, it's you!' "
The 21-year-old star has recently been working with returning 'EastEnders' actress Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey Branning, and she admits it's a dream come true to act with her.
She gushed: "Working with Lacey is literally incredible, she has been my idol for, like, 10 years. At the moment the vibe on set is depressing but not because of her, it's just general 'EastEnders' life."
Jacqueline admits she wouldn't be surprised to see her on-screen dad Max Branning (Jake Wood) reunite with Stacey, but doesn't think Lauren would care, despite Stacey tearing her family apart by having an affair with Max in 2009.
She added: "I wouldn't put it past Stacey and Max to get back together. Right now I feel like [Lauren] probably wouldn't care. It's gotten to the point now where it's like, 'Really? OK, you wanna go there? Just do it.' "

Kate Garraway will be part of 'Good Morning Britain'.
The 'Daybreak' presenter has confirmed she will migrate to the new ITV breakfast show, which will be fronted by a slew of newcomers including 'BBC Breakfast' star Susanna Reid.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm still staying with 'Daybreak', and then the new show."
Kate, 46, is set to appear on 'Good Morning Britain' with Susanna 43, and Sky News presenter Charlotte Hawkins, 38. The trio will be joined by former 'GMTV' host Ben Shephard and Sky Sports News' Sean Fletcher.
The breakfast TV veteran feels she is still valuable to morning programming and thinks there are still good TV roles for mature broadcasters.
She explained: "I think I've probably got more in me. I've been in breakfast TV for 16 years ... BBC, then Sky, and then GMTV, and then Daybreak, and now the new show that's to come."
But Kate is also enjoying variety in her career, working across TV and radio.
She added: "Weirdly, I think now I've got a more varied broadcasting life than ever before, because I've got radio, and BBC and ITV, and the Travel Channel.
"I've just started a radio show on Smooth Radio, which is just about to re-launch, and I've started doing the National Lottery, extraordinarily, on BBC One on Saturday night. So that's a novelty for me, to be on Saturday night TV again."
Kate Garraway interviews Michael Palin in 'Michael Palin's New Tales Around the World in 80 Days', Sunday 16 March at 8.30pm on Travel Channel.

'Suspects' will return for a second series.
The unscripted crime drama starring Fay Ripley (Detective Inspector Martha Bellamy), Damien Molony (Detective Sergeant Jack Weston) and Clare-Hope Ashitey (Detective Constable Charlotte 'Charlie' Steele) is set in London and follows three detectives as they investigate the circumstances surrounding a particular crime.
The series - which sees the actors improvise all of their dialogue rather than rely on a script - has proven hugely popular with viewers and consequently Channel 5 bosses have agreed to have the show back in the autumn with new episodes for a second series, and it has also been re-commissioned for 2015.
Ben Frow, Channel 5's director of programmes, said: "'Suspects' has been an incredible critical success for Channel 5, and praised for its innovative and game-changing approach to procedural drama. We're thrilled by the reaction and are excited about commissioning a further series for later in the year."
Paul Marquess, managing director of production company Newman Street, added: "'Suspects' is the most exciting show I've ever made, so we can't wait to get back into production and we're delighted to be working with Ben and Greg Barnett again."
