Anthea Turner grinds up against James Argent as she makes 'filth' Lee Ryan comment

The Real Dirty Dancing viewers were left gobsmacked at former Blue Peter host Anthea Turner as she turned heads on tonight's episode of the E4 show.

The 61-year-old television presenter impressed fans with her unexpected dance moves in the series.

But she surprised fans during her dance with TOWIE's James Argent, as she began to grind on him.

After their performance, Arg said: "She was a bit nervous at first. But then I think she got quite into it and in fact, I think she quite enjoyed dancing with me."

Following her sexy dance with Arg, Anthea further shocked fans as she made a "filth" comment about Blue's Lee.

Anthea revealed: "Lee looks like Patrick Swayze, he does! And I know he can move because I've been to a Blue concert. It's the after party you have to worry about."

Meanwhile, the former singer said about her: "All the girls were amazing. I think everyone's up for it. I think Anthea, she's got a bit of baby in her that girl."

Taking to Twitter, fans shared their thoughts as they went wild over her raunchy moves.

One person wrote: "Me thinks our Anthea doth protest too much, got a feeling she’ll be filth. Got to watch the quiet ones! #TheRealDirtyDancing."

A second encouraged: "Go on Anthea, you got the hips somewhere #TheRealDirtyDancing."

And a third penned: "Gooooo @RealJamesArgent ….. what an infectious giggle!! Rooting for him already especially for his school boy crush on @AntheaTurner1 #TheRealDirtyDancing."

Ahead of the series airing, James revealed he developed a new celebrity crush during filming for his latest TV gig.

The Essex native even admitted he can see how romances blossom on Strictly Come Dancing, after learning some new moves for an upcoming E4 show.

Despite their 27-year-age gap, the newly-slimmed down Arg was spotted crushing on Anthea.

"He had a big crush on Anthea," the pair's co-star Chelsee Healey, 33, confessed to Closer magazine.

"I'm sure she had a soft spot for him though, definitely."

Quizzed about whether he can see how the Strictly 'curse' can happened, James admitted he could easily see how "things escalate".

"Oh, for sure," the reality TV veteran replied to new! magazine.

"Especially if you fancy your partner and you're bumping and grinding and all that. You can definitely see how things escalate."
