I am so excited the launch of Strictly Coming Dancing is on BBC1 tomorrow at 7 pm and we will finally be finding out who is paired with who !
I have been catching up with Phil Barnett one of my fellow Comic Relief ‘People Strictly’dancers about the show tomorrow.
It’s been over two years now since our People’s Strictly experience and I still can’t get enough of Strictly! Wherever I go people are asking me ” what do you think of this years line up” and I always reply “it’s amazing” because I truly believe that everyone who takes part is changed forever!
It’s a real privilege to do Strictly whether you’re an ordinary person like we are or whether you’re a celebrity!
The hardest thing for me whilst training was retraining the steps and technique – I would think I had it and then two hours later I couldnt recall some of it. I was pinching myself every now and again to see if I was dreaming when I was dancing with Jeanette!
Shirley Ballas looks like she will be a fantastic head judge and the pro dancers, new and old , will be as brilliant as ever! They will make friends for life and they will be forever connected to the Strictly Family!
I can’t wait to see who is paired with who and to follow their ups and downs with fervid anticipation, whilst at the same time appreciating so much the wonderful chance we were given to take part too! ‘

Phil and I were chatting that when we performed it is all over so quickly and you think What just happened!
Good Luck to all of the dancers tomorrow and just enjoy the experience. Here is a tip from me to the celebrity dancers ‘Remember to breathe!’
