Good Morning Britain guest reporter Iain Lee appears to have let slip that Sam Allardyce will be strutting his stuff in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom.

Lee announced that Allardyce, Anneka Rice and Jamie Laing will be the first three names to be revealed on The One Show tonight, before offering a very insincere apology.

"Sorry One Show, sorry Alex Jones, we win," he said.

Co-host Ben Shephard backed the decision to sign Allardyce - who he claims to know "quite well" - suggesting the former England Manager has a good quickstep in him.
