Judi said: "No one likes being in front of the judges, just like in life you don't like being judged

"However I understand that for these guys this is their profession.

"They're professionals, they're trained and put their body through gruelling work to have such a phenomenal skill," she explained.

The Loose Woman went on to reveal that the only way she'd take issue with the judges' criticism is if it was "personal".

Continuing, Judi said: "So look as long as it's not personal, as I can bite back, then it's all good as they're telling me [about] something that I'm not skilled in.

"They might not be happy, but I have to learn from such criticism and try and do better."

Speaking about the moment she received the phone call from the BBC team, the mother-of-two told how the news was too much for her to take.

Judi admitted: "I was just so overwhelmed, I was just so excited, couldn't believe it!

Speaking from inside the Strictly studios, the ITV presenter said that she still can't believe she's on the show.

"I still now - even coming here and seeing signs and seeing outfits I'm still like, 'this is really happening!'" Judi confessed.

She went on: "I was completely overwhelmed so I don't even know what I'm going to be like when I see the dancers and the glitz and the glam and the audience.

"I'm still in that moment now," Judi added.
