Piers asked her: “Have you danced?”, to which Ranvir replied: “Only at weddings.”
She continued: “‘I’m very thrilled to be on it.”
Referring to her early starts on Good Morning Britain, she continued: “I’m worried about the sleep deprivation, I’m worried about energy levels.”
Ranvir revealed she’s glad she’ll be having plenty of coronavirus tests while on the BBC show in a bid to stay safe post lockdown.
She explained: “I don’t know how it’s going to work for me. The dancers are already isolating.”
The ITV star mentioned how the dancers and celebrities usually dance all together before being assigned a parter.
She said: “Don’t they normally do this thing where they do the chemistry test? That’s not in my schedule so I don’t think they’re doing that.”
Fans were thrilled to hear Ranvir’s exciting news, and rushed to Twitter to show her support and love.
One said: “Aww Good luck @ranvir01 you’ll be great!”
While another penned: “Many congratulations to @ranvir01. I can’t wait to see this.”
“Ranvir will be FAB! She comes across as someone who gives it her all, so I think she’ll do well. Can imagine she will look amazing in all those glitzy dresses too. Good luck Ranvir”, gushed a third.
