Chris Ramsey hopes he’ll "get ripped" on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 33-year-old comedian is looking forward to competing on this year’s series of the BBC’s Latin and Ballroom show, and he’s hoping he’ll get in tip top shape as rehearsals roll on.
He said: "I’m looking forward to all of it. But especially getting fit. everyone says you get ripped. I’ve never been ripped. Ever. That would be great.
"I’m also looking forward to the spectacle of the whole thing; the live shows, the crowd, the costumes…
"It would be great if the training kicks in and I slim down before they put me in the costumes. I’ll wear whatever you want once I’m ripped!"
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp’ host joked he’s excited to finally have a "full spray tan", and teased he could look like David Schwimmer’s ‘Friends’ character Ross Geller after his memorable mishap on the classic sitcom.
He teased: "I’ve never had a full spray tan before. I’ve just got back from holiday and people are very complimentary when I’ve got a tan.
"I’m looking forward to turning that up to 10. Maybe I’ll do a Ross from ‘Friends.’ "
While Chris has played down his chances on the show, he admitted he can be very "competitive" – but he’ll only let that side show when he feels he could actually win.
He explained: "I’m quietly competitive. Often I hide my competitiveness behind humour…
"If I’m not doing well, I’ll play it off. But as soon as it looks like I’ve got a chance, I’m Mr. Competitive. I’m very fickle."
Meanwhile, Chris referenced his upcoming ‘Strictly’ experience at the end of his set at last month’s Leeds Festival.
Addressing the audience at the end of his stand up show, he quipped: "Don’t forget to vote for me on ‘Strictly’ because I’m a f***ing s**t dancer!"
