    He added: "No chemistry, that's the secret to keeping a happy marriage and doing Strictly."

    However, despite Ben previously saying he hasn't been given the green-light to sign up, the hosts were still insinuating that he would be joining the line-up.

    They confirmed they had some news about Ben to share on the show, while also dropping hints he would be the Strictly sign up, explaining the legend covered morning TV and hosted an ITV afternoon game show.

    But after not sharing any news about Ben in the episode, fans rushed to X to share their complaints.

    One user wrote: "The way they built that up and teased with the game show host part. Gutted it's not Ben Shephard tbf. He'd have been great to watch."

    Another said: "I'm disappointed it's not Ben," while a third wrote: "Gutted it's not Ben."
