She said: "I've watched the programme for years, I love challenges, I like taking on things. I love Ant and Dec for starters - I can't wait to go back and watch all the funny things they've been saying about us.
"Like you two, I've never been able to really be myself on telly because obviously the job I had, like yours, is a very responsible one."

The journalist went on: "I think everybody will have seen - and I'm a bit embarrassed that I've done this on national television – I mean, if you've seen Dancing Queen, that is me when I'm out with my friends and family.
"That's the message to all those women who are my age, who are mums - do you know what? We can still have a great time, let's go out, let's enjoy our lives."
