The Hit List's Rochelle Humes makes confession after being left 'clueless' by song on BBC show

Rochelle Humes was very forthcoming with an admission that she didn't have a clue what one of the songs was on Saturday's edition of The Hit List.

Rochelle and JLS star and DJ husband Marvin Humes have been at the helm of a number of series of the hit BBC early evening show and the couple were on Hit List duty once again this weekend as three more pairs aimed to put their music knowledge to good use to win big money.

One of the rounds on the most recent episode involved stars who's scored chart hits but also appeared in TV soaps. Among the more obvious tracks played to contestants including Neighbours legend Jason Dononvan's number 1 Joseph hit Any Dream Will Do, ex Coronation Street star Shayne Ward's X Factor winner's single That's My Goal and Blue - One Love, referencing the fact that bandmembers Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe have all been in soaps.

However, while she knew all of them, one song that had clearly never landed on Rochelle's radar was Anita Dobson's Anyone Can Fall in Love. The Angie Watts actress' reworking of the EastEnders theme tune made it all the way to number 4 in the charts in 1986, and is one of the highest charting theme tunes of all time.

But, as a clip of it played on The Hit List, host Rochelle looked completely stumped and confused as to why she wasn't aware of the song even existing. As other half Marvin mimicked EastEnders iconic 'duff duffs,' she replied: "No, I know that! I just didn't know it was a real song!"

Rochelle's embarrassment was added to by the fact that one of the contestants was quick to identify the song's title and the fact it was Anita who sang it.
