He told the Where There’s A Will There’s A Wake podcast: “I got a phone call from my agent, very unusual on a Saturday, going, ‘What are you doing tonight? Bruce had a little fall, he can’t do Strictly tonight, are you free to present the show?’.

“I sort of ran around for a couple of hours going, ‘Do I want to present Strictly?’.

“By the time we’d figured out I probably could go to the TV centre, I phoned back, and they went, ‘Don’t worry, Ronnie Corbett is doing it’.

“I don’t know if I’d have been any good. I don’t watch Strictly so I wouldn’t have known what I was talking about.”
