Judi surprised her co-stars as she made the announcement live on the ITV chat show on Friday afternoon following news that Tilly Ramsay will also take part in the series.

London-born Judi admitted to her Loose Women co-stars: "It really is me! I am so nervous this is so out of my comfort zone.

"These guys are athletes, what they do with their bodies, how they move it's so inspiring. So any opportunity to learn is great."

"I'm overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude."

Judi added that she didn't mind if she was hit by the Strictly curse when it comes to romance.

She laughed: "My eyes are big you know. I wouldn't mind being paired with that guy with the long hair, Graziano."

Judi joins thirteen others on the show including BBC presenter Dan Walker, actor Greg Wise, ex EastEnders actress Nina Wadia, Coronation Street's Katie McGlynn, Dragons' Den star Sara Davies, McFly's Tom Fletcher, and TV presenter AJ Odudu.
