Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon has said she is particularly looking forward to learning how to dance the rumba on Strictly Come Dancing despite the possibility that it will be “grossly uncomfortable for me and everybody watching”.

The 39-year-old, who is the only woman in the UK and Ireland to have their own Saturday night chat show with Ask Me Anything on RTÉ One, is one of 15 contestants taking to the dancefloor on the BBC’s flagship show in a bid to lift the glitterball trophy.
