Jackson says 'no' to TV dance show

La Toya Jackson has said that she will not be appearing as a contestant on the US version of 'Strictly Come Dancing', 'Dancing with the Stars'.

In an interview with 'Access Hollywood', the 53-year-old said: "I've been approached to do 'Dancing with the Stars'. The fact of the matter is, I won't be doing it, simply because of the circumstances that [are] going on at the moment."

She continued: "I can't see myself putting myself into there right now, dancing every single day when I'm still trying to find out what exactly happened to my brother. That's the most important thing for me at this very moment."

Jackson added: "I love that show. It's not only one of my favourite shows, it's my mother's as well. They had on television that I was doing it, and she goes, 'Oh honey! Is that going to be you?' I go, 'Mother, that's just a rumour.' She just perked up. We watch it together."
