BEN Shephard left viewers hot under the collar on The One Show last night as he admitted to getting naked for his degree.
Appearing on the popular BBC programme, the Tipping Point host made a stunning confession about his secret degree and how it combined contemporary dance with getting naked.
Sitting on the sofa alongside Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas, he was grilled by hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas on his past dance background where made the unexpected admission.
Alex, 45, remarked: "Queen of Latin dance here, but also, King of the dance."
An initially puzzled Ben responded: "King? King of the dance? Which dance are you talking about?"
"Apparently you have a background in dance," Alex responded.

At this point, Ben smirked as he told of his degree in contemporary dance revealing he secured a BA in the subject before chat quickly turned to a possible Strictly stint.
Co-host Jermaine asked: "You're sat next to Shirley, a Strictly question. Are we going to see you on it at some point?"
Shirley was quick to answer for Ben exclaiming ‘yes’, before he revealed the contents of his degree don’t really make him the perfect fit for the hit ballroom dancing show.
Ben laughed as he said: "My degree in contemporary dance was very much about running around, physical theatre, getting naked, covering yourself in soy sauce. That sort of stuff."

A stunned Jermaine quipped: “What?,” as Ben replied: "I know JJ, it was a great three years. Me and 16 girls in leotards and tights. You can see why I enjoyed it!"
Ben added: "So it was that rather than having any hips that move in anyway that is vaguely Latin."
Humorous head judge Shriley then made her thoughts on the matter very clear as she said: "Well if you're running around with that sauce all over you then I think that'll go down rather well for the audience."
Toward the end of the show Shirley attempted to perform a salsa dance with the GMB star.
However it failed to impress Ben as he remarked: "Now you'll see why I've never done Strictly now!"
