TAMARA Ecclestone has fuelled rumours she WILL be taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing – but warns fans she could crash out of the competition early.
The heiress tells The Sun Online that now daughter Fifi, 5, is in school, it could be “the right time” for her to finally sign up to the show after years of offers from bosses.
“Would I ever do Strictly Come Dancing? I’m a big fan of the show but I’ll be honest; they’ve approached me a few times before but I’ve been so focused on being a mum to commit,” she says.
“Motherhood has been so challenging but it’s really changed me for the better as a person.
“However, Fifi is much older now and she loves performing so it could be the right time to seriously consider it.
“I think she’d enjoy it too but, she’s a better dancer than I’ll ever be, so I’m not sure how far I’d get!”

Yesterday, The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed that the super-rich daughter of F1 mogul Bernie Ecclestone had turned down producers in the past – but was considering it now Fifi has turned five.
Tamara tells us: “Fifi loves to dance. Ever since she watched The Greatest Showman she’s turned into such a performer around the house.
“She loves going to ballet lessons after school too. She celebrated her fifth birthday with a Greatest Showman theme!”
Tamara – who reopened her ‘Tamara Gives Back’ eBay shop yesterday, where she is auctioning her personal designer wardrobe and donating all proceeds to Great Ormond Street Hospital – says that daughter Fifi is already following in her mum’s charitable footsteps.
“When I told my daughter Fifi what I was doing with GOSH she sweetly went through her own wardrobe and put a pile of clothes together that she wanted to donate too,” says Tamara.
“She’s only five but she really understands what I’m doing and wants to help others too.
“We often take toys to the charity shop together so I’ve explained why we do what we do.
“I’ve never wanted her to take anything for granted and have made her aware of how lucky we are and that not everyone has what she has.
“It’s so nice to think she’s kind, generous and thoughtful at her young age.”
