Loose Women's Ruth Langsford makes big boast after Strictly news breaks

Ruth Langsford made a big boast about Monday's Loose Women, which followed a huge announcement on the latest contestant confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing.

With a month to go until the new series of Strictly stars, celebs are now being confirmed thick and fast, with KISS FM DJ Tyler West announced on Monday morning, to join the likes of Will Mellor, Kym Marsh and Ellie Simmonds.

Some viewers have hit out at the Strictly line-up so far, arguing that it lacks real star power, however, that all changed just after lunchtime on Monday, when This Morning presenters Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle let another name out of the bag.

At the start of the show, Josie revealed that another Strictly star would be unveiled on the show, promoting fans to rush to Twitter voicing their hopes that it would be her. Sadly for them, it wasn't Josie but, it Matt Goss, with the music legend appearing live in the studio himself for the big reveal.

Twitter went wild for Matt being on the Strictly line-up as he admitted that he'd been asked to the show before, telling Josie and Craig: "You know what, it’s time for me to come home, just do something completely out of my comfort zone'

In the immediate aftermath of Matt's Strictly announcement, Josie and Craig crossed live to Ruth in the Loose Women studio for her to preview what was coming up on the programme.

Craig shouted: "Beat that!" to which Ruth fired back; "We can beat that! Yours is good but we've got a lot coming up," before revealing that they'd be joined in the studio by Coronation Street star Sam Aston and his wife and would be discussing calls from fire chiefs for a BBQ ban.

And then came her big news, that Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide would be making an appearance. Their interview sparked hilarity amongst vierwers, when Ruth called them “Ekin-Su and Davidoo."

Loose Women of course had some Strictly news of its own last week, when, after an elaborate stunt to try and throw viewers off the scent, it was announced that long-serving host Kaye Adams was joining the line-up.
