When asked who was the biggest fan of Dirty Dancing, the pair said they were both ‘fan girling’ during filming.

Keith, 48, also said TV presenter Anthea Turner surprised him the most, adding ‘she just doesn’t age’.

Amanda then added: “My husband has got a bit of a thing for her.”

Back on The Real Dirty Dancing, the stars will compete to be the last couple standing as they put on epic routines based on the iconic scenes from the hit film, from 'Hungry Eyes' to the Mambo dance.

The famous faces will move to a picturesque Lakeside location and will also receive dance help along the way from creative director of Dreamboys, Jordan Darrell.
