Eamonn Holmes joked: "That must have been hard," to which Kevin replied: "It was!" He added: "She always reminds me about that Glitter Ball thing so that's why I had to finally win it on the last series." When Ruth Langsford asked whether his sister's win preyed on him, he joked: "Yes! She never stops talking about it just all the time. The year Jo and Ore [Oduba] won we were in the final together."

Joanne added: "I went to watch it. I thought I was done with dancing… then I watched Burn the Floor and that was the first time I thought, 'You know what, I'd love to be in it.'" We can't wait to see the pair in action!
