Ed Balls reveals Jeremy Vine was tricked into stripping NAKED to get a spray tan for Strictly Come Dancing
The politician shared the hilarious story to a stunned audience
Ed Balls left Strictly Come Dancing fans in stitches after he revealed how former contestant Jeremy Vine was tricked into stripping naked in order to get a spray tan.
It is common practise for the celebrities and dancer to get spray tans as they glam up for their photo shoots and performances when taking part in the BBC One dancing competition.
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.”
Ed quipped: ” What show did he think he was on? What on Earth was he doing?”
“I always said I would have a spray tan but not a full Jeremy.”
Viewers flocked to Twitter to share their shock at the cheeky revelation as one wrote: “Getting a “full” spray tan will forever now be known as a “full Jeremy” please #ItTakesTwo #Strictly”.
Another tweeted: “@theJeremyVine just learned from @bbcstrictly #ItTakesTwo that having a Full All Over Tan is called ‘having a jeremy’”.
While one wrote: “#ItTakesTwo the full @theJeremyVine !!! Crying!!! 😂”
One fan stated: “Wow, Ed’s #strictly secrets. Was NOT expecting that. Could’ve done without it, tbh #ItTakesTwo.”
Another admitted: “I did NOT know THAT about @THEJeremyVine.”
While one tweeted: “Thanks @edballs – too much information 🙈@theJeremyVine #spraytan #ItTakesTwo #Strictly”
