Ben Shephard previously revealed he’s been banned from Strictly by his wife.
Speaking to Andi Peters on ITV’s Lorraine back in 2020, the host called Annie “narrow minded” as he revealed she was concerned he’d cheat.
Ben Shephard reveals wife has banned him from Strictly
Although Ben is desperate to sign up for the show, Annie is reportedly fearful of the Strictly curse.
The presenter said: “My wife really doesn’t want me to do Strictly.
“I’ve talked about it very publicly but she’s not interested in me having an affair – I think she’s being very narrow minded.

“Honestly, I think it could be a great opportunity and it would be an amazing experience.”
Ben went on to reveal why he would make the perfect Strictly contestant.
He continued: “I spent three years at university learning dance.
“I’ve got a degree in dance but that doesn’t mean I’m a good dancer, obviously.
“But I would love to do Strictly…I love a bit of spangle and glamour on a Saturday night.
“As things stand though, that’s a negotiation that needs to happen between the BBC and my wife.”
Realising Annie might not approve of his comments, he jokingly added: “I could get myself in a lot of trouble here!”
We can’t say we blame Annie, as there are ALWAYS rumours about the Strictly curse.
Although after being married for decades, we’re more than sure Ben is a good guy and can be trusted.
Come on Annie, give him the go ahead for 2024!
Catch Ben on Tipping Point Lucky Stars tonight (August 27) at 7pm on ITV1.
