On Friday's GMB the mum-of-one talked about her latest tricky routine which she said had her "bouncing around like Tigger".
She revealed the pair will be dancing to Bruno Mars' slushy track Marry You and said: "We are actually going to get married - well, when I say get married, have a Strictly wedding."
Her co-host Ben Shephard quickly interjected: "Haven't you got a husband?" to which Charlotte, who wed Mark Herbert in 2008, replied: "I have got a husband already.
"He's given permission for me to get married for 90 seconds as part of the dance routine."

Pushing the issue cheeky Ben, 42, said: "He's given permission - can you do that?"
Charlotte, who improved with her second dance last week, giggled: "Special dispensation for 90 seconds only."
Meanwhile fellow GMB anchor Kate Garraway joked: "That's going to really help those Strictly curse rumours!"
Last weekend, Charlotte wowed as she turned up the heat with a sexy Tango to the Top Gun theme tune.

But many fans felt the performance was overshadowed by Brendan's subsequent row with judge Shirley Ballas.
As they faced the panel, Brendan admitted messing up his footwork, saying: "I messed up. It was me. I put my hands up."
But he got a roasting from Shirley over the "rise and falls" in the tango.

Recently, Charlotte told The Sun she was hoping extra racy outfits would help distract from any footwork errors in her Strictly routines.
She said: “The worse my dancing gets, the more leg I’ll have to show to distract everybody. I’m probably going to shock myself. I suspect a lot of people will be shocked too. But you have to throw yourself into it.
“I can’t go on that stage as Charlotte the newsreader or Charlotte the mum. I have to pretend to be Charlotte Hawkins the dancer. I have to step into character. I have to step out of my comfort zone.”
Her change of heart comes after she first told the dance show’s wardrobe staff to tone down her outfits.
