Emma Willis has revealed just how secret her new Strictly Come Dancing job was before the news came out in public.
The TV presenter is joining the new series of the BBC show with Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe.
Even Emma did not know much about what was happening as she said she was put into a car and taken to places without being told where she was going.
Her husband, Busted star Matt Willis, also got to keep the whole thing secret for months.
Matt, however, shared that the process felt like casting for a James Bond film, adding that there were secret addresses, studios with the windows covered and very careful plans to stop anyone finding out.
Emma said the whole thing made her feel excited and now that work has started, she said it finally feels real.
She is also getting used to her new role on the show as Emma will present the programme with Josh and Johannes after Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly stepped away.
One thing they still have to decide is if they will use the famous “Keeeep dancing” line at the end of each show.
Emma, moreover, continued saying that having three presenters could make that difficult, so they may come up with something different.
