Key 103 breakfast presenter Gemma Atkinson is currently taking part in Strictly Come Dancing and has been paired up with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec.

Gemma's co-hosts Matt and Mike surprised Gemma recently by bringing Aljaz on the breakfast show she presents, and quizzed him about his new dance partner.

Speaking to Aljaz, Mike said, "Have you yet seen Gemma's feet?"

Continuing, "The long finger-toes?!"

Gemma then interrupted saying, "They hate my feet Aljaz!"

You can hear the clip below:

Put on the spot Aljaz was hesitant to reply to Mike's question and said "I have to be very careful about what I say don't I?"

Explaining that he had seen Gemma's feet when they filmed the promo earlier in the month. He said he had noticed her nail polish, but that wasn't what Matt and Mike really wanted to talk about.

Gemma went on to say that her co-hosts make fun of her because her big toe is smaller than her other toes. Poor Gemma!

Since starting her training Gemma's feet have suffered a lot and earlier today she revealed them, covered in bruises and plasters! Matt and Mike weren't exactly impressed as you can see below!

Matt and Mike also asked Aljaz about his chemistry with Gemma while on the show, asking him if he just knows from "day one", here's what he had to say.

Aljaz previously won Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 with model Abbey Clancy, so Gemma is in good hands.

Gemma is one of 15 contestants taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing which started last weekend. The series also features The Saturdays singer Mollie King, former JLS singer Aston Merrygold and The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.

Just before the launch of the new series Mollie revealed there was a big change in the upcoming series. In the new series there is a 'speed dancing' process, where the celebrities are allowed to try dancing with the different professionals, before the final pairings are decided.

We caught up with last year's** champions Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton who attended the 2017 TV Choice Awards**, so we asked them which celebrities they think will excel in the new series.
