Dermot O'Leary has admitted that he was drunk when he agreed to take part in a 24-hour dance for Comic Relief.
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden on This Morning, the presenter said that he has recruited the choreographers from The X Factor to help him prepare for the challenge.
On how the 24-hour dance came about, he said: "When you're happily married, this is how drunken texting goes, so rather than text someone else you just go, 'I'm going to dance for 24 hours, I'm going to text Comic Relief right now!'
"I've got about 12 set pieces which I've learnt through the guys on The X Factor - they've helped me out choreography wise. Caroline Flack is going to come down and do a turn with me as well."
The 41-year-old also showed off some of his moves at the end of the show alongside Denise Robertson, Sharon Marshall and Amanda Holden.
