Kelly says he won't make Strictly final

'Coronation Street' actor Craig Kelly has told people not to put money on him winning 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

According to Digital Spy, the 38-year-old actor, who plays factory boss Luke Strong in the soap, said: "I honestly don't see myself in the final."

"Don't put your money on me! I just hope to really, really pull through. I hope to do my best and get better and better as the show goes on, but I really can't see myself winning."

"I'm just going to try my best. I am a blank canvas and I've never danced before. I'm hoping that I'll be good, we'll see."

"I couldn't say no. It came out of the blue and I completely remember watching it last year with my wife, saying, 'That is the only reality show I would do'. It takes such courage to do it."

"When I was offered it, I wanted to back out because I didn't think I was brave enough, but I was encouraged by my wife."
