The former MP, 77, appeared on the daytime show with Reverend Richard Coles , who also danced on Strictly , to discuss the programme's recent controversy.

Zara, 27, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2018, was allegedly kicked and hit at by her Strictly Come Dancing partner Graziano Di Prima during her stint on the BBC celebrity competition in late 2023. While both Richard, 62, and Edwina admitted they were 'not surprised' about the news, Edwina shared her thoughts on the mindsets of some of the contestants. She lamented that influencers 'don't realise' the hard work that Strictly requires because they're only famous for 'lounging around'.
