Naga, 47, was candid about the harsh realities of training as she competed in 2016.
She told Kym: “I tell you what, enjoy the break ahead of this because it is going to be hard work!
“What have you been told in terms of how to prepare?”
Kym replied: “Well I have a few friends that have been on the show and they have just absolutely loved it.
“They had the best time and they said what they have learnt has just been incredible.
“I’m nervous but I’m really looking forward to it.”
Naga asked: “Fitness is really important, so ever since you knew you were taking part have you been raising your fitness regime?
“It’s stamina, I mean the training is pretty intense!”
She said: “I have been upping my game a little bit over the last few weeks and I intend to take that a little bit further but I’m sure it’s going to get me super fit this whole experience.”
Kym is famed for her role as Michelle Connor in the ITV soap Coronation Street.
She’s also had a successful music career in the band Hear’Say and as a solo artist.
More recently, Kym has been a co-host for popular BBC show Morning Live alongside Gethin Jones.
Naga pointed out Gethin has been on Strictly before and asked if he’s given her any advice.
Kym admitted he’s asked her multiple times in the past if she would ever go on the show, but hasn’t had a chance to speak to him about it.
Fellow soap star Will Mellor is also competing in this year’s series.
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One in the autumn.
