Television presenter Ben Shephard swapped Good Morning Britain for Lorraine on Friday.
The 45-year-old star chatted to Andi Peters, who is filling in for Lorraine Kelly on her ITV talk show, about the new series of Tipping Point.
Like the rest of the television industry, production of the eleventh series of the ITV quiz show was halted in March due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
After showing off the brand-new socially distanced Tipping Point set live on location in Bristol, conversation quickly turned to Strictly Come Dancing.
Ben Shephard has let slip that his wife Annie has banned him from doing Strictly Come Dancing
Ben said: “Andi, I would love to do Strictly.
“I’ve got a degree in dance. I studied it for three years but it doesn’t make me a good dancer.
“My wife Annie really doesn’t want me to Strictly. She doesn’t want me to have an affair.
“I do love a bit of spangle and glamour on a Saturday night.”

Ben went on to confirm that there are no plans for energetic game show Ninja Warrior UK to return to our screens anytime soon.
The ITV star said: “Me, Kammy [Chis Kamara] and Rochelle [Humes] love making the show but right now there are no plans for Ninja Warrior to return.”
“We would do it again at the drop of the hat so fingers crossed.”
