During an appearance on Loose Women, Joan was probed for her thoughts on the new series where it quickly became apparent that she was not in favour of Tasha having been picked as a contestant.

Some fans were left unhappy when Tasha landed second on the leaderboard after an impressive Cha-Cha-Cha to Sabrina Carpenter hit Espresso alongside her pro partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

There was immediately talk of a fix as a result of Tasha having had professional dance training and having worked as a dancer before finding fame on the ITV2 reality show.

Now, Joan has admitted she thinks it is unfair that stars with any past experience are given their moment on the dancefloor.

During her appearance on the ITV lunchtime programme, host Ruth Langsford asked Joan: “There are other people saying ‘that’s not fair for the amateurs’ you know people who have never even stepped on a dance floor.
