The newsreader - who was working on BBC Breakfast at the time - has said that she desperately tried to get out of appearing on the programme, but was pushed into taking part by the channel.
Kaplinsky is quoted as telling The Mirror: "I got completely forced and put into a corner at the BBC.
"I'd just started at BBC Breakfast, and obviously the bosses at Strictly had a shopping list and a newsreader was on it and I was their easiest target.
"I honestly tried every single excuse not to do it, but I was cajoled and in the end I ran out of excuses. I was absolutely petrified."
