The 'This Morning' beauty recently announced she will be taking part in the upcoming series of 'Strictly Come Dancing' and, in order to get ready for her big stint, she's been rehearsing around the kitchen but she's forced to do it solo because her spouse won't join her as he doesn't think she'll be on the show for very long.

Speaking on this brunchtime show this morning (01.09.17), Eamonn said: "Ruth will go, week one. There's some big matches that I want to watch coming up soon, I'm not messing around. Take a trip. She was dancing in the kitchen last night. She asked if I wanted to help, but I was reading the newspaper so I said no."

The breakfast TV legend also revealed to guest and fellow 'Strictly' contestant Mollie King that he was concerned they will be the latest couple to fall victim to the show's curse, which sees competitors fall in love with their professional partners.

He also found out that the contestants on the ballroom and latin show get "up close and personal" with their dancing partners and Ruth admitted she found that bit "really easy".

However, Eamonn was least than impressed and said: "Hold on. Run that past me again. There'll be none of that going on! You never told me this. Are you saying it's quite sensual? It's alright for you Mollie, you're single! You never know, I might be a victim of the curse."

His wife added: "Or a blessing in disguise, as you call it."

Ruth and Mollie will be joining the likes of Alexandra Burke, Debbie McGee, Jonnie Peacock, Aston Merrygold, Brian Conley and Davood Ghadami on the new series.
