While the actress was detailing her reasons for agreeing to take part, Ruth had to cut her off mid-sentence.

She said: "I'm really sorry but I'm going to have to stop you there and to everybody else, we are going to have to take a break.

"I've just been told that we've got a fire alarm going off in the building."

As the Loose Women music started to play, viewers could hear Charlie's surprise.

Ruth added: "Obviously, protocol dictates that we need to leave the studio-"

However, all seemed to be dealt with quickly as Ruth received a message in her ear from the producers.

She continued: "Oh no! I've just been told it's all fine now. Don't panic!"

The live studio audience was quick to laugh at the situation as Ruth tried to continue on with their interview with Charlie.

Taken aback by the sudden change, Charlie replied: "Ok, that was dramatic! Oh my goodness."

Although Ruth joked she was trying to get her used to the drama that she would have to play into when competing on Dancing on Ice.

Charlie is the fourth person to join the line-up for the ITV competition which will air in next year.
