Ricki Lake: Dancing Has Spiced Up My Sex Life

Ricki Lake says she's always felt sexy around her fiancé Christian Evans.

"Oh, my god, my love is pretty spicy," the TV personality, 43, recently told PEOPLE.

With a long chuckle, Lake says that she now incorporates her hard work for Dancing with the Stars into her private life.

"When I get home [from rehearsals], I train horizontally," she said. "[My fiancé] has noticed a difference in my stamina over the last couple of weeks."



But a bashful Derek Hough, 26 – who stood by his partner's side as she dished about her deets between the sheets – tried to cut the conversation short.

"Derek knows all about [my sex life]," Lake admitted unashamedly, as Hough turned his head. "He hears about it. Derek and I have gotten to know each other, so, you know, I share stuff with him."

Hough, who stayed mostly mum on the taboo topic, would only say, "I guess that means I'm not working her hard enough during rehearsals. I want her to go home and collapse."
