Smith told sister programme It Takes Two: “This week, there’s going to be a bit of shouting.”

Smith added: “I may or may not be going up in the air.”

Du Beke said they would be going “full Vegas”.

“We might have a feather fan, we might have a bit of elevation at the end,” he added.

Smith said she is “loving” the experience of appearing on the show.

“I’m living my best life, I couldn’t have a better partner,” she said.

“We laugh a lot of the time, when I’m not swearing and he’s not telling me off and, in fact, even then we laugh.”

She added: “I have often said, you get to your late 50s, sometimes people thing, ‘Is that the end of your adventures?’

“No. This has been a brilliant adventure and I couldn’t have shared it with a better person.”
