Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly has revealed that watching dancing pairs take to the floor each week for the last five series has sparked her interest in giving it a go herself.

She told the Sunday Mirror recently: “I find the whole thing so exciting.”

“I’ve had a few tentative dance lessons with Anton du Beke - he has to deal with the fact that I try to grab him for a quick spin every time I walk past. I jump on him and say ’swing me faster’.”

“I love it. The more I see, the more I want to have a go - but I’ve got two left feet. I’m an enthusiastic disco dancer though, that’s for sure.”

She added that if she did what to compete in the next series of the show, she could partner up with husband, All Star Family Fortunes presenter Vernon Kay: “Vernon loves dancing, he’s got a good sense of rhythm. But he’s very long, so the Latin would be difficult to control…”
