WATCH: Prince Charles captivated by Camilla Parker Bowles

The popular UK TV show is much like Australia’s Dancing With The Stars and sees celebrities pair up with professional dancers to compete in a ballroom dancing competition.

Host Tess Daly spoke to Hello! and revealed how much of a fan Camilla is of the show – and that the Duchess of Cornwall has even been to visit the set.

Tess told the publication: “Camilla is a fan, she has been to visit us in the studio before and she spent half a day with us and it was wonderful.

“She was absolutely part of the whole process during the dress rehearsals, at the judge’s desk, handling the panels and she really enjoyed her day.

“She’s such a lovely lady and she actually invited all of our crew to Buckingham Palace two years ago and we filmed part of our routine there for Christmas.

“She’s told me they watch together so I hope they enjoy the series.”

It’s well-known that Camilla is a ballroom dancing fan, and last month the Duchess danced with Strictly’s former head judge, Len Goodman at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the British Dance Council.

Camilla also hinted during a speech at the event that Princess Charlotte is a fan of the show. 

While not referring to the young royal by name, Camilla said in the speech: “I have a granddaughter who is passionate about dancing.
