Kaye Adams has banned her family from the Strictly Come Dancing studio
The ‘Loose Women’ anchor - who has two daughters, Charley, 20, and Bonnie, 16, with her partner Ian Campbell - believes in the importance of a “clear separation” with her public and private persona, but stressed her kids are "happy with that".
The 59-year-old presenter said: “They’re quite happy with that.
"There's quite a clear separation between my work and my family."
Kaye - whose brood reside in the Scottish city of Glasgow - admitted it would be “expensive” for her family to travel weekly to see her compete for the Glitterball trophy on the BBC One star Latin and ballroom show.
Kaye told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “It’s quite expensive to come from Scotland”.
Recently, the former 'Wright Stuff’ panellist joked she had “struggled” to nod off after she started rehearsing for the show.
Kaye said: “Struggled to sleep last night after the first day of Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals. Tried to count sheep but couldn’t get past 5, 6, 7, 8.”
The star opted to take part in the show because she couldn’t find “a better way” to mark hitting 60 years old.
She said: "I said I wanted to make the last year of my fifties memorable and I can’t think of a better way of doing it than showing the world my two left feet. Pray for me!”
Sharing the advice that former 'Strictly' contestant Ruth Langsford gave her, she added: "She was brilliant, she told me it warts and all but in a really nice supportive way, which was nice.
"She did make me laugh, she said, 'You will get very sweaty 'down there' when you're training. So bring a little ladies' bag with pantyliners."
