James Argent shocked Real Dirty Dancing fans on Tuesday evening as he admitted he has a huge crush on fellow star Anthea Turner.
The TOWIE star, 34, opened up to his male co-stars on his feelings towards the former Blue Peter presenter, 61.
And Arg hilariously admitted he used to dream of her giving him a Blue Peter badge.
Speaking to his co-stars, Arg confessed: "Anthea does it for me. I used to watch her as a kid on the telly and used to dream of her giving me a Blue Peter badge."
The dance group immediately burst into laughter as singer Lee Ryan quipped: ""I thought you were going to say something else then!"
Arg continued: "Anthea Turner, she just ages like a fine wine! She looks exactly the same as when I was a kid or in fact she probably looks even better!"
Fans of the E4 show took to social media to share their thoughts on the reality TV star's confession too - with several agreeing with the former Blue singer about his immediate reaction.
One fan wrote on Twitter : "Anthea Turner yea I always wanted a bl…. ue Peter badge off he. Jeez Arg, nearly spat my brew out then #TheRealDirtyDancing."
Another penned: "Aaahhh @RealJamesArgent dreaming @AntheaTurner1 giving him a Blue Peter badge and declaring 'she just does it for me!' has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard alllll day!"
Arg's comments follow his similar remarks on Monday's episode in which he gushed over "gorgeous" Anthea.
At the start of the episode, after introductions were out of the way, he said: "Anthea looks just as good now as she did when I used to watch her on TV as a kid. She’s absolutely gorgeous!"
"When was dancing with her, that was my dream come true."
And he certainly didn't complain after being paired up with his former crush as fellow contestants joked about his "snake hips".
The competition sees the celebs attempt to learn the iconic moves from 80s hit film Dirty Dancing.
The five couples will aim to copy Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey's famous dance scene.
Other stars taking part in the reality show include comedian Darren Harriott, Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey and University Challenge champion Bobby Seagull.
Comedian Keith Lemon and former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts take up the hosting duties.
