Camilla said: "We watch it.

"I’m one of Strictly’s greatest fans."

And the royal superfan agreed to accept an offer of lessons from the dancer, also known as Jojo.

She said "I will be there. I will be there.

"I’ll come. Definitely."

And promising to wear the gold shoes, she said: "I'd love to do it because I have always wanted to tap dance,” she said.

“In my dotage it’s perhaps something I could take up."

Camilla made a surprise cameo appearance on the BBC telly hit in December 2020.

She watched Jojo, 36, and former Love Island contestant Tasha Ghouri, 25, teach tap and the cha-cha-cha to a Royal Voluntary Service beginners class at a community centre in Cambridge.

She said: "Having seen everybody here dancing away happily, it’s the best exercise and it’s, you know, for everybody.

"It’s a wonderful way of just enjoying yourself."

Camilla has this week held the royal fort as the King, Kate and Wills, have all postponed engagements, with five jobs in four days on top of helping Charles leave hospital on Monday.
