This Morning star warned 'don't do Strictly' by dance pro ahead of line-up announcement
This Morning presenter was playfully warned by a Strictly Come Dancing pro to 'never do it' after she shared her unique dance move
A Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer cheekily cautioned Emma Willis against joining the BBC's beloved competition following her distinctive dance technique falling rather flat.
During Monday's edition of This Morning, Emma Willis and Joel Dommett took the helm whilst Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard enjoyed their summer holidays.
The presenting pair covered the day's headlines and chatted to various guests, including former Strictly professionals James Jordan, Brendan Cole, Pasha Kovalev, and Ian Waite.
The seasoned dancers featured on the ITV daytime programme are to publicise their upcoming live tour, The Return of the Legends, marking a departure from the BBC series.
Moments before launching into the interview, Emma was eager to express her enthusiasm for Strictly and wasted little time demonstrating her signature dance technique, reports Edinburgh Live.

The television host disclosed: "I'm a bit of a sofa dancer." Everyone appeared puzzled as she enquired, "Have you ever heard of one of them?"
She clarified, "I love Strictly, and I'm a massive fan." Showcasing the movement, she swayed from left to right on the sofa and added, "I sit there and watch it and do this on the sofa while watching them dance, and my toes are pointing."
She continued: " And before I know it, everyone is looking at me, thinking 'what are you doing?'"
Before she could complete her explanation, James, who featured as a professional on Strictly from 2006 to 2013, interjected with a quip: "If you do it like that, don't ever do Strictly."
Everyone erupted in laughter as Brendon quipped, "I had a couple of partners like that."

Nevertheless, this hasn't prevented audiences from sharing their predictions. If the rumoured lineup proves accurate, fans could be witnessing one of the finest series to date.

Princess Andre's childhood trauma: Katie Price's daughter says she 'saw things kids shouldn't see' as she lays bare her mother's 'problems' and how she has a counsellor
Princess Andre has revealed that she 'saw things kids shouldn't see' as she opened up about her mother Katie Price 's 'problems' during the first episode of her new ITV show which aired on Sunday. The daughter of the former glamour model and singer Peter Andre, 18, claimed she wished she could have had a 'happier childhood' as she discussed her traumas on her new reality programme, Princess Diaries. Princess said her mum became in a 'dark' place following her split from third husband Kieran Hayler, who she welcomed two children with Bunny, 10, and Jett, 11, in 2018. Katie has previously admitted to attempting suicide and relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism following the 'breakdown'. Princess has now told ITV viewers how she has a counsellor to help her cope with her traumas and how she previously 'couldn't just go to my dad' Peter due to the former couple, who split in 2009, 'not liking each other'. She said: 'She [Katie] is so unpredictable and she lives life and doesn't care. I love that, I'd love that mind set of I don't care because deep down I do, I'll get to bed and cry about it. 'I do have a counsellor who I see now and then and I write everything down in my notes. I wish I could have had a happier childhood, I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind. 'My mum and Kieran split up when I was 10 years old, we were close to him he was in our lives for five years. 'He did a lot of stuff and when they split everything went downhill.' Laying bare Katie's 'problems', Princess said she hasn't 'fully recovered' from her mum's breakdown but revealed she did apologise and they now 'talk a lot'. She continued: 'Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there, she wasn't there because she had her own problems. 'Kids in school would ask me about it and I was like 11 and I would just cry about it in bed. I couldn't just go to my dad about it because I grew up with them not liking each other. 'I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then. 'She spoke to me about it and she apologised and I never wanted an apology but it was a lot that she acknowledged it and she realised she needed to prioritise us, we now talk a lot and she is now my best friend.' She said: 'Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there she wasn't there because she had her own problems' Princess has now told ITV viewers how she has a counsellor to help her cope with her traumas and how she previously 'couldn't just go to my dad' Peter due to the former couple 'not liking each other' Princess also revealed how she used to stay at Katie's Monday and Tuesday nights and dad Peter's Wednesday and Thursdays, however the weekends 'it was whoever's turn it was'. Comparing the two households, she added: 'Mum's house was chaotic there weren't many rules, a few boundaries maybe but it was go to bed when you want and eat what you want. Last year, Katie reflected on the emotional time she tried to take her own life after 'reaching breaking point' following her divorce from Kiaran . Katie, who is now in a happy relationship with JJ Slater, at the time admitted herself into the Priory shortly after she noticed she was relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism amid her suicide attempt. Speaking to You Magazine, Katie opened up about the emotional and difficult time in her life, she said: 'People don't realise what I've been through'. They don't know, for example, that she tried to take her own life, as she got divorced from her third husband, Hayler. 'I just didn't want to be here any more. I thought, "What's the point? No one's here, no one's helping, no one understands what I am feeling." 'I woke up from it thinking, "What the f***? I can't do this to my kids." I was at breaking point.' Katie went to private hospital the Priory, and realised that the suicide attempt was the culmination of a long breakdown. She had been taking cocaine as a means of escape, and this shocked her friends and family, because, she tells me, she isn't an addict. Katie added: 'I think there's this persona of me that I'm a drinker and a cokehead, but I never have been, ever. Yeah, when I was younger, I would go out and get p***ed. Who wouldn't?' 'It [cocaine] is the dirtiest thing. When you're not in a good place, it taps you on the shoulder and says, 'I'm here, I can help you.' To me, it wasn't a drug that made me want to party. 'It was more a way to block everything out, to suppress me completely. I was like this,' she mimes looking down and in at herself. "It was like I was in rigor mortis." While most people who take cocaine get an intense high, it shut Price down. This is typical of people who suffer from ADHD, and it was after her stay in the Priory that she had a formal diagnosis. "I hate labels," she says, "but it's made me understand more. I found all my school reports and they all say exactly the same thing: 'Dreamer. Gets bored. So capable but gets easily distracted and doesn't concentrate.' It all makes sense.' Does she think her life might have been different if she had received a diagnosis as a child? 'I don't know. And maybe I wouldn't be where I am today. So I don't regret any of it, but now I am older, I can understand that I need to hold back and evaluate situations more.' Katie and Kieran separated in March 2018 after five years of marriage but their divorce wasn't finalised until four years later. The couple split after several infidelities by Kieran, with the stripper later admitting he suffered from sex addiction. The model was famously married to Peter Andre from 2005 to 2009 after meeting on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and welcomed Princess and son Junior In 2021, Katie was awarded a 16-week suspended jail term after being sentenced for a drink-driving crash. The TV personality flipped her BMW onto its side at about 6.20am on September 28, on a country road near her West Sussex home. Following the accident, she tested positive for alcohol and cocaine, and admitted drink-driving while disqualified and driving without insurance. Katie is currently in a loved-up relationship with former Married At First Sight star JJ Slater. The model was famously married to Peter Andre from 2005 to 2009 after meeting on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and welcomed Princess and son Junior. Admitting she was on the 'rebound' Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid a mere eight weeks later. The pair were married from 2010 to 2012 before their acrimonious split. She then wed the father of her two youngest children, Kieran, in 2013 after a whirlwind romance and their split - once again bitter - came amid allegations of new infidelities, three years after she caught him sleeping with her best friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas. In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here's a look at the trio with whom she exchanged 'I dos'... and 'I don'ts': PETER ANDRE (2005 - 2009) The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways. ALEX REID (2010 - 2012) Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party at London's Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex 'too soon', she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne. KIERAN HAYLER (2013 - 2021) Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie's world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their 'amicable' divorce was finalised in early 2021.

Lily was last seen leaving Albert Square to spend time with her biological father Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott) back in May.

Patrick Kielty seen for first time since split from Cat Deeley after 13 years of marriage
Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley are both known for their successful broadcast careers - with Cat being the most recent host of ITV's This Morning Patrick Kielty has been seen for the first time since his sudden split from Cat Deeley after 13 years of marriage. The pair recently announced that they would be going their separate ways after more than a decade together, much to the shock of fans. However, he has now been spotted out and about as he went to purchase some wine on Saturday. He broke his cover this weekend as he ventured out of his London home and went to a nearby shop. The 54-year-old went for a casual look as he wore a grey T-shirt along with a pair of jeans and Crocs. He covered his face up with a pair of sunglasses as he carried a shopping bag filled with his purchases. It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK 'really hard' before split from Patrick Kielty. Patrick Kielty 'to be in very dark place' if new Cat Deeley fear unravels Patrick and the This Morning presenter announced last week that they would be ending their marriage. The couple share two sons, Milo, seven and James, five. They both stressed that "no other party" was involved in the reason for their split. They released a joint statement as they told their fans that they were no longer together. The pair wrote: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." Cat and Patrick first crossed paths when they were both hosting BBC 's Fame Academy together in 2002, but it wasn't until 2011 that they finally decided to take their friendship to a romantic level. The two tied the knot a year later in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome. Insiders have since claimed that it was their equally busy work schedules that got in the way and drove a wedge between their marriage. Cat has hosted ITV 's This Morning alongside Ben Shephard since early last year, and previously lived in Los Angeles for more than 10 years. Meanwhile, Northern Irish presenter Patrick is the host of RTE talk show The Late Late Show, having taken over from Ryan Tubridy in 2023. Despite living in the UK, Patrick would travel to Dublin every week to present the show from the RTE studios. Due to their clashing schedules, it was reported that it became difficult for Patrick and Cat to spend quality time together. The source said: "It is such sad news. They were so happy after they moved back to London, and would talk about their grand plans to renovate the house for the family. "But sadly, as so often happens with relationships, work got in the way and it put a huge strain on the marriage." Cat and Patrick hadn't been pictured together in public for over a year and Cat also missed Patrick's mother's funeral in March but this was put down to the mum-of-two looking after their sons.
