Angela Scanlon reveals she LIED to BBC producers about her experience to land The One Show...

Angela Scanlan has admitted she lied to producers to ultimately bag a top job presenting on BBC primetime programme, The One Show.

Angela continued: 'Then I went off to do Robot Wars and I got a call to say,"They want you to fill in on The One Show." I was on a train practising how to read autocue and I had no idea what I was doing.' The former Strictly star, who replaced Graham Norton as Virgin Radio's weekend presenter, revealed that she generally enjoyed her time on the show.

'Whereas I just shut up shop and had to pretend that I knew exactly what I was doing which was quite lonely. She admitted while appearing on Spencer Matthews ' Big Fish podcast: 'He said,"Have you ever done studio?" and I said, '"Yeah I've done loads of it in Ireland' 'So going out there every week, thinking, 'Oh my God, I'm so mortally embarrassed in this moment,' and then standing in front of the judges and having everyone and their granny have an opinion about your footwork, and still being like, 'Oh, I'm actually grand,' is quite galvanising. It makes you feel bulletproof.'
