Angela Rippon?has ǧ¤á¤ë she is finding ¸·Ì©¤Ë Come Dancing training 'very gruelling'?and her µÓs 'feel like they're going to Êø²õ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.'?

The ÊüÁ÷¼Ô, 78, will make history as the oldest ever contestant when she takes to the dancefloor for the show's first live instalment,?25 years after hosting the ½é¤á¤Î programme.

Speaking a new interview, Angela shed some light on how her training with professional partner Kai Widdrington, 28, is going.?

She told The Mirror: 'My µÓs feel like they¡Çre about to Êø²õ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.

'I know what I should be doing, I know how it should be feeling, it¡Çs ¸½¼Â¤Ë making my µÓs do it to the music. I¡Çm just getting cross and ¼ºË¾¤µ¤»¤ëd.'

Angela continued: 'I'm exhausted. There are bits of me aching that I didn¡Çt know I had. 'I¡ Çm enjoying doing it and I¡Çm ȳ¶â with the bits that I get ¸¢Íø. But I get very angry with myself when I ÀäÂÐ muck it up and do it wrong.'?

She recently ÌÀ¤é¤«¤Ë¤¹¤ë¡¿Ï³¤é¤¹d the secret to her famously ½ÀÆð¤Ê physique as she ½àÈ÷¤¹¤ës to become ¸·Ì©¤Ë Come Dancing's oldest ever contestant.

Speaking to MailOnline, Angela ǧ¤á¤ë she's 'nervous and apprehensive' about taking part in ¸·Ì©¤Ë, with ¥Æ¥ì¥Ó»ëÄ°¼Ôs »Ï¤á¤ë¡¤·è¤á¤ë to find out her professional partner during the ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë show.

The presenter Äɲ乤ëd that she's ͽÄê to the physical ¼ûÍס¦Í׵᤹¤ës of her work she's 'kept fit all her life.'

Angela told MailOnline: 'I've kept fit all my life,?for the ¿¦¶È that I do.?You have to keep fit to do what we do because you never know what you¡Çll be asked to do next. A lot of things that I've done in television have been more physical.

'You know, maybe you thought twice about Èô¤Ó¹þ¤ß with ¹­Âç¤Ê¡¿Â¿¿ô¤Î¡¿½ÅÍ×¤Ê white sharks or swimming with »¦¤·²° ·ßs, so you never know what you're gonna be asked to do.

'I¡Çve done programmes where I've been on my feet for 12 hours. And you can't do that unless you¡Çre fit. I just kept fit and strong I suppose.'

Angela's ¸·Ì©¤Ë stint will come?47 years after she stunned the 27 million ¥Æ¥ì¥Ó»ëÄ°¼Ôs of Morecambe and Wise's 1976 Christmas special by ¸½¤ì¤ëing from her newsreader's desk to À®¤·¿ë¤²¤ë a high-kicking dance ·è¤Þ¤ê¤­¤Ã¤¿»Å»ö, in an »þÂå when ¿·Ê¹µ­¼Ô¡¿»¨»ïµ­¼Ôs never Å굡¡¦ÅÒ¤±¤ëd into light entertainment.

The news presenter will take to the ¸·Ì©¤Ë dancefloor in a group ·è¤Þ¤ê¤­¤Ã¤¿»Å»ö on Saturday when ¥Æ¥ì¥Ó»ëÄ°¼Ôs will also learn the À±¡¿¼çÌò¤Ë¤¹¤ës' professional partners.

Hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, ºÛȽ´±s Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke?will once again be returning to the ¥Ñ¥Í¥ëÈ×.

The couples will then À®¤·¿ë¤²¤ë their debut dances on the first live show on September 23.

¸·Ì©¤Ë Come Dancing returns on Saturday at 6:15pm on BBC One and iPlayer.?
