Richard Osman has revealed that he knows who is having sex with who on the popular weekend show Strictly Come Dancing.
The 50-year-old BBC Pointless presenter , who is known for his quizzing knowledge, currently shares makeup artists with the stars of Strictly and is able to find out all the behind-the-scenes titbits first hand.
Talking candidly on Jamie Laing’s Private Parts podcast, Richard said: “Our makeup artists on Pointless are the same makeup artists who work on Strictly, so we get every single piece of gossip.
The star then went on to say that he wouldn’t join the dancing competition if it was offered to him as he has no time for training and potential affairs.

He added: “I don’t have time to do all the training and have an affair…so we get every single piece of gossip, that includes who’s banging who, but also who’s nice.”
Since Strictly Come Dancing kicked off in September, the rumour mill has been working overtime as a few celebrities and their professional dance partners have set tongues wagging.
Olympian Adam Peaty and his professional dance partner Katya Jones had several fans speculating when they previously performed a sultry Argentine Tango that included a near kiss at the end.

Rushing to Twitter at the time, fans were wondering if the pair were far too close.
One fan questioned “Did Adam Peaty have to pull himself back from kissing Katya at the end of their routine just then? I watched it back, and it absolutely looked like he stopped himself.”
While another confused spectator asked: “Was it just me or did #adampeaty just catch himself before he kissed his partner?”

Following on from the sensual dance routine, Adam who has a girlfriend admitted that he understands how the Strictly curse could potentially happen.
But the star also took to Twitter to bite back at anyone who presumed that things were getting a bit too steamy on the dancefloor.
Adam penned: “My favourite dance so far. Thank you to everyone who has sent supporting messages! I loved it.
“To everyone who wants to see what they want, your comments have real-life consequences.
“I will not be overcome or lowered by your gossip. Protect your energy.”
However, Adam isn’t the only celeb from this year’s series who fans have spoken about in a romantic way.
Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin, Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice and AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington have all been subject to romance rumours.
