Keith Lemon was on Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda this morning chatting about his new show The Real Dirty Dancing.
The show - with our very own Ashley Roberts - will see the famous faces try to learn some iconic moves from the film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
Some of the celebrities include the likes of Marnie Simpson, Anthea Turner, James ‘Arg’ Argent and Tom Malone Jnr.
Opening up about filming the show, Keith told Jamie and Amanda: “It’s the straightest thing I’ve ever done.”
Ashley added: “He actually gets emotional,” with Keith adding: “I teared up during Arg from TOWIE’s dance.”
When asked who was the biggest fan of Dirty Dancing, the pair said they were both ‘fan girling’ during filming.
Keith, 48, also said TV presenter Anthea Turner surprised him the most, adding ‘she just doesn’t age’.
Amanda then added: “My husband has got a bit of a thing for her.”
Back on The Real Dirty Dancing, the stars will compete to be the last couple standing as they put on epic routines based on the iconic scenes from the hit film, from 'Hungry Eyes' to the Mambo dance.
The famous faces will move to a picturesque Lakeside location and will also receive dance help along the way from creative director of Dreamboys, Jordan Darrell.
The ten-part series starts on E4 on Monday, Feb. 21 at 9pm.
