'Strictly Come Dancing' Dan Lobb: 'I will embrace the fake tan'

Strictly Come Dancing star Dan Lobb has revealed that he is willing to use fake tan during the competition.

The Daybreak presenter explained that he decided not to use the product for the launch show but would not rule it out for the coming weeks.

"I haven't done the fake tan," he said. "But I will do, because that is partly what it's all about."

Lobb continued: "Yeah, I will dive headlong into it eventually, but I declined the first offer of a fake tan. Unlike [Rory] Bremner and [Robbie] Savage!"



Meanwhile, Bremner and Savage confessed that they are enjoying the opportunity to use the tanning products.

"I'm into that," Bremner said. "When else are you going to get some amazing training sessions, when else are you going to learn to dance to music, when else are you going to get a fake tan? I was in there, it was like a car wash. I absolutely loved it.

"I might not have had it for the [launch show] except for the fact that my shirt is a golden colour and, to be honest, that's not a good look with white, is it?"

Savage agreed: "I'm loving it. I had a full spray tan - brilliant. I know how hard it is to be a woman now! It's great, though. I love it."

However, McFly star Harry Judd admitted that he was not enjoying the fake tan as much, joking: "It smells of wee."

The Strictly Come Dancing launch show will air on Saturday at 6.10pm on BBC One.
