TV presenter Angela Scanlon dropped a major hint she was doing Strictly Come Dancing.
The Irish star, 39, revealed that she had been practising her dance moves on her series Your Home Made Perfect, but no one noticed.
Her Strictly news was announced on this morning's Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2, which was being fronted by Gaby Roslin.

"That's where you grab your partner by the hand and swing them around at top speed."
She laughed: "I'm not sure those kind of moves are generally encouraged in Strictly but we'll soon find out I guess."

Joking that she was terrible at keeping secrets, Angela explained: "I was ready to burst. I've only told 1,700 of my closest friends".

She added: "I'm terrified, I'm excited and I have so many questions. Will they make me tan?
"How itchy are sequins?! Do they do flesh coloured sports bras? Well – there's only one way to find out, right?"
Asked which pro dancer she wanted to be paired with, the TV presenter – who also hosts a chat show in Ireland – said: "You know what, I think they're all unbelievable.
"I think generally the producers get it right. I'm 5ft6in – it might narrow down the choices. I'll take whatever I get at this stage."
Strictly fans gave her announcement a warm reception. One wrote: "My favourite so far. So pleased she is on it. She will be great and so entertaining."
London-based Angela has been married to Roy Horgan since 2014 and they have two daughters.
