ROSS King stunned viewers by revealing that his gorgeous girlfriend Bridget had flown 5000 miles to be there with him during the first Strictly live show.
We’re used to seeing the entertainment correspondent, 63, on Lorraine, but tonight he graced the Strictly dancefloor alongside his partner, Jowita Przystal for his first dance on the show.
Ross cha-cha’ed and shimmied to Katy Perry‘s California Girls – but what viewers didn’t expect to see is he’d brought along a gorgeous girl of his own who had flown 5000 miles just to be there with him.
As Ross and Jowita waited to hear their scores from the judges, Ross mentioned that his partner had come down with him.
“It’s so lovely that my girlfriend flew all the way, 5000 miles.
“I said, ‘come tonight Bridget,’ because there might not be too many of these.”
The camera then cut to a beautiful brunette laughing in the Strictly audience in a chic sleeveless black dress.
She was sitting next to his sister Elaine, who beamed with pride.
Viewers seeing this were shocked by how beautiful she was, and shared their awe over on X.
“That’s his girlfriend?!?,” commented one user, followed by an open-mouthed emoji.
Many users also commented on how much younger she looked than hm.
“Blimey, his girlfriend looks about 30 years younger than him. Fair play to the fella,” said one.
Despite going on to receive the second lowest score in the first week of Strictly’s history – a 10 overall – Ross appeared grateful as he gushed about his girlfriend.
Ross’ relationship with Bridget comes after his divorce from Brianna Deutsch.
It was Ross’ second marriage, which ended after seven years.
Before that he was married to Charley King from 1999 until 2006.
