Judi Love has discussed her weight loss after joining Strictly Come Dancin g and sharing a dressing room with professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima.

The Loose Women star was speaking with her fellow panellists on the ITV lunchtime show on Monday.

Offering an update on Strictly training to co-stars Ruth Langsford, Penny Lancaster and Jane Moore, Judi revealed: "It's overwhelming but it's exciting. Nervous at the same time but I think, 10 days ago I couldn't think of or do those steps."

"And somehow Graziano has managed to push me in a way I haven't been pushed before."

She revealed that she was used to performing in front of a live audience when doing her stand-up comedy but the dancing on the Strictly dance floor is totally "out of her comfort zone".

Judi also discussed how taking part in the competition had impacted her weight.

"It's been great," she said. "I've lost five pounds already, okay maybe I'm pushing it, probably about 4lbs, but it's been amazing, I've never experienced anything like this."

The comedian also delighted in revealing that she was sharing a dressing room with her professional dancing partner Graziano.

"Oh we are sharing dressing rooms," said Judi, before sarcastically adding: "And I'm really upset about that. Oh it's so haaaarrrrd."

Later a clip was shared from Judi's dressing room with Graziano with Judi filming and Graziano standing in the background in black briefs.

Graziano later appeared on the show by video link to talk about his Strictly experience with Judi.

Meanwhile, all of the panel encouraged Jane Moore to join them as Strictly veterans but the journalist said that she would be too frightened despite being a huge fan of the show.

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday at 6.45pm on BBC One with the previous episodes on BBC iPlayer, while Loose Women airs on weekdays from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
