And in tonight's episode of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, Ed revealed the hilarious way in which Jeremy had been pranked during his time on the show back in 2015.

Ed, Katy Brand and Rev Richard Coles had been praising Debbie’s dance skills to host Zoe Ball when Rev Richard said: “As a vicar unusually I have had a spray tan with Debbie McGee and believe you me, the sky’s the limit with that woman."

Ed asked him: "Top half or full Jeremy Vine?"

He then explained: "Full Jeremy Vine is total starkers.  He was told by the guys in the first week that for the spray tan you strip completely naked.

"He took everything off and he had the whole deal."
