Claudia then joked that although they knew, they couldn't tell fans of the show just yet, saying: "but that's all you're getting because we can't tell you anything."

The 44-year-old presenter hinted that there is one star she was particularly excited about, saying: "There's one name that made me scream," before Tess joked: "When you found out you screamed out loud. You got very excited. She screams a lot."

They continued to list the sort of people who will be appearing in the show, saying: "There's something for everyone there's young, there's old, there's small, there's tall, there's cuddly, there's abrasive. Actually there's not abrasive. I miss the abrasive ones.

"There's cute, there's gorgeous, there's hot, there's edible."
