Silent Witness<\/a> spoilers follow. <\/p>\n

Emilia Fox has revealed the surprising show that she would “love” to appear on.<\/p>\n

The actor currently stars as Dr Nikki Alexander in the BBC drama Silent Witness<\/a>. She has played the character since 2004, after taking over from former lead Amanda Burton (who played Sam Ryan).<\/p>\n

Despite her long-running role as the forensic pathologist, Fox has shared that she’s open to other TV stints, including the popular competition series Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“I really love watching reality TV,” the star told the Daily Mail<\/a>. “I’d love to do Strictly.”<\/p>\n

Fox went on to share her qualms about the “nerve-wracking” live shows, but added that she would still relish the opportunity to train and compete.<\/p>\n

“I’d love the rehearsal process, but the thought of live shows is nerve-wracking,” she explained. “I’m not sure I’d be very good at that, but I’d definitely consider it.”<\/p>\n

As well as watching reality TV, Fox has also appeared on a variety of reality entertainment shows, including Celebrity Gogglebox, Top Gear, Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, and Blankety Blank.<\/p>\n

The star also fronts the documentary<\/a> series In the Footsteps of Killers, which sees her investigating cold murder cases alongside criminologist Professor David Wilson. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Silent Witness was recently renewed for its 29th season<\/a>, which will pick up from the events of the latest finale<\/a>. Fox will reprise her role alongside co-star David Caves, as newlyweds Nikki and Jack take on even more dramatic cases.<\/p>\n

Silent Witness airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n
