Angela Scanlon is ready to take on the sequins and spandex that comes with Strictly Come Dancing – however, she's ruled out the classic spray tan that comes with the BBC show. <\/p>\n

The TV presenter is taking part in this year's competition alongside the likes of Amanda Abbington, Adam Thomas and Angela Rippon. <\/p>\n

Speaking to OK! <\/b>in an exclusive interview, Angela admitted that she's been burnt before by a tangerine fake tan. <\/p>\n

"Sequins? Literally roll me in them. But fake tan? I haven\u2019t worn fake tan in 15 years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I had quite an intense relationship with it," she added. "I was very committed and it wasn\u2019t a light hue. Maybe a little bit of make-up but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to be getting into the booth every Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old is best known for hosting Your Home Made Perfect and is just one of the TV presenters taking part in this year's Strictly, with Les Dennis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy also descending on the dance floor. <\/p>\n

Married to tech entrepreneur Roy Horgan, Angela has two children – five-year-old Ruby and 18-month-old Marnie. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking about joining Strictly, Angela said that the timing seemed perfect with her kids a little older. "We\u2019ve had the conversation before and it hasn\u2019t been right \u2013 I\u2019ve been trying to have a baby or thinking about having a baby or pregnant. <\/p>\n

"When it came in this year, there wasn\u2019t really a question. Ruby loves the show. She was like, \u2018Can I do it, too? Are we doing it together?\u2019 She was quite devastated when she realised she couldn\u2019t dance with me," she added.<\/p>\n

She also turned to former Strictly stars Ellie Taylor and radio DJ Clara Amfo for advice – and that the resounding feedback was "brace yourself but it's the best thing you'll ever do".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"That\u2019s my motivation in life generally, to do things that feel frightening and really uncomfortable, and I feel like I haven\u2019t done it for a while," she said.<\/p>\n

The BBC show was recently triumphant at the National Television Awards last week, picking up the Talent Show award.<\/p>\n

The cast paid an emotional tribute to star Amy Dowden, who'll be sitting out of the upcoming series as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer. <\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing launches on Saturday 16th September at 6:45pm on BBC One.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
