Angela Scanlon whipped fans into a frenzy on Monday when she candidly asked her fans for some tanning advice ahead of her Strictly Come Dancing debut.
Taking to Instagram, the Your Home Made Perfect presenter, 39, posted a snapshot of her toned legs pointing towards the ceiling. In a separate snapshot, Angela shared an image of numerous bottles of fake tan separated into varying shades.

Angela's loyal fans were quick to weigh in, with one writing: "Please fly the flag for the pale gurls! Don't tan," while another remarked: "Please don't tan, I feel inspired to wear shorts because of you, please keep that up. From a fellow pale redhead."

Angela will be joining an incredible line-up this year, with the likes of Downton Abbey's Nigel Harman, EastEnders actors Bobby Brazier, Sherlock star Amanda Abbington and Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy, all set to dust off their dancing shoes.
After news of her participation was announced, the mother-of-two said: "I'm terrified, I'm excited and I have so many questions.

This isn't the first time Angela has spoken candidly about her nervousness ahead of the dancing competition. Last week, the star shared a video of herself over on Instagram where she shared a sneak peek inside her first day on set.

But heels all day and enormous glitter balls and confetti cannons and what I imagine is a very small taser of what I'm about to embark upon."
She went on to add: "And you know what? Even though I feel a little bit sick, I actually think it's wildly exciting and yeah, I'm going to need a comedown. I don't know how people relax after doing that."

The couple, who wed in June 2014, welcomed their eldest daughter Ruby Ellen in February 2018, and went on to welcome their youngest daughter Marnie Fae in February 2022.
