But in reality, most<br \/>\nhaven\u2019t set foot beyond the BBC\u2019s studios in Elstree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Strictly\u2019s resident fake tanner, Carrie Marsh, has been<br \/>\nexplaining how she and her team usually set up camp in Anton du Beke\u2019s dressing<br \/>\nroom every week with their spray-tan machine and products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cMost people have a full-body spray tan,\u201d she tells BBC Radio<br \/>\nBerkshire. \u201cSome of the gents, if they\u2019re not getting their legs out, they\u2019ll<br \/>\njust have the top half of their body sprayed, especially if they\u2019ve got an open<br \/>\nshirt and they\u2019re showing their chest. But most of the time it\u2019s full-body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">While some of the celebs might be initially reluctant to get a<br \/>\nspray tan, Marsh says most become more enthusiastic and a few even ask for<br \/>\ndarker shades with every passing week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cSometimes it depends on the dance they\u2019re doing or the outfit<br \/>\nthey\u2019re wearing,\u201d she says, \u201cand I decide what colour to spray them from<br \/>\nthere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But, she adds in another interview with BBC Radio Lancashire,<br \/>\nsome celebrities also want to make sure the tan will have disappeared by the<br \/>\ntime they show up for other jobs on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cIf you\u2019ve got actors who are still doing scenes in shows, you<br \/>\ndo have to be careful not to take them too dark,\u201d she notes, \u201cor I just give<br \/>\nthem lots of advice on how to get it off more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Strictly\u2019s resident fake tannerpublished at 17:47 BST 17:47 BST Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter Every year, the Strictly contestants&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-193213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
