JUG ON
STRICTLY star Jacqui Smith shocked Good Morning Britain viewers today with a cheeky joke about her "jugs".
The former Home Secretary, 57, had a playful bit of banter with host Ben Shephard as she spoke via Zoom.

The ex-Labour politician is in a Strictly bubble to ensure she remains Covid-free for the upcoming series, and as a result wasn't in her usual home where the dinnerware had previously been seen in the background.
Ben said: "We are missing the jugs though. We don’t want people moaning about the lack of jugs."
The quip confused Kate Garraway, while Jacqui giggled: "Kate. You know I usually have my jugs on display when I come on Good Morning Britain."

Ben them jibed: "Kate never pays attention to what’s going on in the background."
It prompted his co-host to say: "No I’m listening to what she has to say. I’m not staring at her jugs."
Viewers loved it, with one tweeting: "Just switched @GMB on to hear Ben Shepard talk about Jacqui Smith’s jugs... totally out of context comment."
Another joked: "When you put the tv on and the 1st thing you hear is Jackie's jugs and wonder what channel you have put on @ITV@GMB."
Last week Jacqui showed off her stunning transformation after a glitzy makeover during the show's rehearsals.
The UK's first female Home Secretary - who served from 2007 to 2009 under PM Gordon Brown - shared her new look with her 28.3k followers on Twitter.

Since joining the cast of this year's BBC One dance competition, Jacqui has swapped her smart work attire and natural make-up for something a bit more glam.
The TV personality and broadcaster looked stunning with her hair styled in a middle parting and loose Hollywood curls.
She completed the look with flawless make-up, a peachy coloured lip gloss, some sparkly eyeshadow and dramatic false lashes.
Jacqui told fans: "The @bbcstrictly wardrobe, hair and make-up teams are genius. Here’s a little tease of things to come!

"(Of course I look like this every weekend when recording @forthemanypod and that @IainDale is a fiend for the sequins."

Another wrote: "How good do you feel Jacqui? You look good. You are on a spectacular journey.Enjoy."
