Strictly Come Dancing 2017: Ruth Langsford brands Anton du Beke a 'LIAR' in shock outburst
RUTH LANGSFORD jokingly called her Strictly Come Dancing partner Anton du Beke a "liar" after he praised her efforts in training.
Anton says Strictly partner Ruth Langsford is an A star student
The 57-year-old This Morning host has been practising hard ahead of the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2017, and her professional partner was full of compliments for her dedication.
A sneak peek behind-the-scenes at their training sessions shared by the official BBC Strictly Twitter account yesterday saw the 51-year-old dancer gushing about Ruth Langsford, saying: "There are A students, there are A* students, and there are A A A* students and that is Ruth.
"What a pupil, what a partner," he added.
Retweeting the clip to her 528,000 followers earlier today, Ruth said: "He's a terrible liar but I love him for it!
"First A* I've ever had from a teacher," she joked. "Thank you partner!"
Yesterday, her husband and ITV co-host Eamonn Holmes, 57, shared a video of the pair discussing the aches and pains she's battling after a tough week of training.
Ruth snapped at Eamonn in the clip as she revealed that she was struggling with a very sore neck.
As her other half attempted to reach out to rub it, she recoiled, exclaiming: "Don't touch it! It's really bruised. Don't touch it, it hurts!"
"I'm just soothing it," Eamonn insisted, but his wife was having none of it as she explained that the cause of her pain was battling to master the uncomfortable ballroom hold in rehearsals.
Strictly Come Dancing returns Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
