Angela Scanlon tells our exclusive new podcast she peed herself on Strictly Come Dancing during ‘spicy' performance

FOR many celebs and famous faces, appearing on Strictly Come Dancing is top of their wish list. After years of turning the BBC show down, Angela Scanlon, 41, finally accepted the offer in 2023. 5 5 Before that, the Irish TV presenter was ''too afraid to be seen as not clever or funny or smart enough'', she told Fabulous in 2024. However, the mum-of-two gave it some thought and realised there were ''loads of things'' she could gain from the experience. For the 41-year-old, it was also about taking part in something purely for herself, after having her second child, Marnie, now three, in 2022. She also has Ruby, seven, with husband Roy Horgan, 43, who works in tech. But in hindsight, it, perhaps, wasn't the best of ideas, as her pelvic floor was ''not ready''. Now, a few years later, Angela has openly spoken about her experience of appearing on the cult favourite show as a mother who had an 18-month-old baby at the time. The mother-of-two shared what really took place behind our TV screens on our new parenting vodcast No Parental Guidance, hosted by parenting influencer Louise Boyce and comedian Hannah East. ''It was a lot. I didn't really anticipate it in my head,'' she told the hosts on the episode. ''The old pelvic floor was under pressure.'' Angela - who also spoke about smartphone bans - went on: ''People don't talk a lot about pelvic floor health. ''In France, I remember in my NCT group the first time around, there was a French woman and she was like, 'I'm going to the physio '. ''I was like, 'For what?' What happened?' ''She said, 'For my - up there'. ''It's obligatory post-birth in France that you have six weeks physiotherapy, internal physiotherapy.''

She's no stranger to reality TV, having recently appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. Paul C.

Dani Dyer: Rising to fame as the winner of Love Island in 2018, Dani has remained in the public eye with various TV appearances. The daughter of actor Danny Dyer, she's reportedly agreed to take part. Vicky Pattison: A reality TV stalwart who first found fame on Geordie Shore, Vicky has successfully transitioned into a presenter and author. Having supported her friend Pete Wicks on the show last year, it seems she's ready to put on her own dancing shoes. Ashley Cain: Former footballer and reality TV star from Ex on the Beach, Ashley has more recently become known for his incredible charity work and campaigning. Stacey Solomon: Known for her down-to-earth charm and successful BBC shows like Sort Your Life Out, fans are eager to see if she can translate her infectious energy to the ballroom.

While no accidents were shown on live TV, Angela confessed that she did pee herself during her Strictly stunt. ''I think I would've peed myself anyway, to be honest. But yeah, I did. I remember doing rehearsals for the Charleston and it was quite a spicy number. ''There was a lot of hopping as there is but ours was particularly bouncy,'' said Angela who partnered with Carlos Gu and finished sixth. ''I did the rehearsal and I remember Carlos being like, 'What happened there?' ''And I was too embarrassed - cause we were three weeks in at that point and I didn't know him well enough to be like, 'I just wet myself'. ''I was also so afraid because I was like, 'Oh my God, what if this happens on the show?' ''Because it's a lot to, like, manage that while also managing your steps and also managing all that stuff. ''But I will say, you know, it's pretty solid now,'' she chuckled. 5 Not allowing her children smartphones During the episode, Angela also revealed why there's a smartphone ban at her home. 'Ruby stamping her feet and telling me that her best mate has one does not mean I'm going to get her a phone if I believe that she is better off as a human without one,' Angela said. 'I'm OK with being the bad bi**h. "I'm actually fine with her hating me if it makes sense in the long run for her not to have one. I'm still the parent.' Angela addded that she knows her own phone use impacts her. 'It's affected my concentration. "I will be reading a book and think: 'Oh, I've read three pages and have no idea what it said.' "There's a lack of regulation online and we are going to hand that to a child? "My plan is to hold off for as long as possible.' 'I think our generation is justifying it because we love it. "I don't want to let it go. It's the conditioning. "You're going: 'Oh my god, how am I going to tell her she's not allowed it when I'm sitting there refreshing. "It requires us all to make changes.'
