Official:Ruth Langsford is third official announced confirmed is the third celebrity for Strictly Come Dancing 2018.

This Morning and Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford is the third celebrity who’ll be pulling on the sequined lycra for Strictly Come Dancing 2018.
The announcement was made on This Morning as Ruth hosted the ITV daytime programme alongside husband and co-presenter Eamonn Holmes. She’s the latest name to be announced after EastEnders actor Davood Ghadami and The Saturdays singer Mollie King were unveiled for Strictly’s 15th series.
RadioTimes.com can also reveal that Ruth’s code name behind the scenes was Hera, who was queen of the gods. And Ruth is the queen of daytime TV!
Former Strictly professional Karen Hardy was a guest on the sofa to give Ruth some advice and tips, and said that she could see Ruth being paired up with professional dancer Gorka Marquez.

“I do worry about who would be able to lift me up,” laughed Ruth, who also said that she was feeling “a bit shaky” after the news was confirmed.

I’m a bit worried about you too,” said Eamonn. “You’re not very competitive and you’re not very strong…she might not be very good but she’ll do her best.”

To which Ruth added: “Please vote!

Eamonn also quipped: “One man’s Strictly curse is another man’s Strictly blessing.”

Ruth revealed she was “very, very excited” about taking part in the show this year after mentioning her desire to be on the show in “every interview” she gives.

Eamonn meanwhile begrudgingly (and hopefully jokingly) asked if he had to be in the audience and attend the live show every week. “What about the football?” he said. “It’s the start of the football season.”
