Kevin joked that he was worn out after rehearsals

Chatting about their day together, Anneka explained: "Look at our huge studio! We've had the best day, we've just been floating around playing dancing – on a Saturday, it's amazing! You can have the day off tomorrow Kevin." The 36-year-old joked: "I'm going to need it… Resting my weary bones."

The TV presenter captioned the video: "Another joyful day in Strictlyland with @keviclifton. Who knew I'd love dancing so much. He is a miracle-maker. I'm not joking, I honestly thought I'd struggle so much there would be no fun involved. Hello! End of our first week and we've managed to learn the routine while still having time for buns, cakes, ice creams. I love the #Strictly diet."

Fat panda. That's weird, but anyway we know what we're talking about. We don’t need to explain everything to everyone. We don't want to give all our secrets away."
