Get Me Out of Here! I like embracing some quite out there looks. At the beginning of the year when I first said yes I said to myself I was going to get into really good shape and life just got in the way! Robert Webb is best known as one half of a comedy double-act alongside David Mitchell, the pair starring in long-running sitcom Peep Show as well as sketch series That Mitchell and Webb Look.
It's just a straightforward wish to jump up and down in funny costumes for the viewing pleasure of the ladies and gentlemen of the British public. There's also the fact that two years ago, I had to have quite a big heart operation, which made me think, "This is no time to be cool". It gave me a slightly different perspective. It was between yes and no and yes felt like the bigger and more generous and more expansive answer.
I'm up for an extreme costume. I do remember advice that Shirley Ballas gave at the beginning of one of the previous series which was, "Leave your ego at the door of the rehearsal room". I think that's very good advice because you just haven't got the energy to spare.
You're dancing all day long. You haven't got the energy to get to cross with yourself, all of your energy has to go into failing better until you're not failing any more. I think in the early weeks, I'll be hanging on for dear life and just trying to survive from one moment to the next but if I get halfway through then I think I will start to invest in putting trip wires outside dressing room doors and spiking their energy drinks with laxatives.
Robert left Strictly after three dances due to ill health - the actor underwent open heart surgery two years ago and the demands of the show had affected his continued recovery. I think perhaps I was too eager to impress them. In their three weeks on the show Robert and Dianne had impressed with all their dances, top scoring with 27 points for their Tango in week 2. She also has previous experience of taking on celebrity challenges, her appearance on The Chase proving slightly more sedate than her early elimination on gruelling reality challenge Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in I've not been to a nightclub in two years, I've not been to a festival in two years and I've not been to the famous working men's clubs around the northwest of England in over two years!
I've not socialised, I've not danced and I've not listened to music in a normal capacity so what better way than to get on the Strictly ballroom floor! I've grown up watching the show since Bruce Forsyth presented it, it's always been a feelgood show. My mum and I always loved it - the outfits, the music, the drama and the journey.
Quite frankly, I just love the idea of being transformed, hopefully, into a certified dancer! Of course!
I believe, you've got to be in it to win it. But, with all of that being said, let's get through show one first! Since winning the third series of Bake Off in , John Whaite has opened a cookery school in his native Lancashire and has published five cook books.
Whaite will make Strictly history this year as one half of the show's first all-male partnership. I wanted to take part in Strictly because I like sequins and I like fake tan! I used to dance when I was younger, I did ballet and modern and tap, and I really want to get back into it. I was wearing glitter in the womb. I am excited for the sheer tops, tight trousers, the spray tans, hair and makeup.
Michelle Visage texted me and said to start stretching immediately! He was previously a member of the National Youth Theatre and is an ambassador for Place2Be, a charity which provides mental health services in schools.
I was a fan ever since I saw Jay McGuinness do that jive, it was immense. So after that I've always, secretly, hoped to do the show. Seeing Karim do it two years ago, and how much fun he had, that solidified it for me that it would be such a cool thing to do.
They both said, just enjoy it, but you cannot slack off in your training. Other than that, they've just told me to really embrace the whole thing because it's such a once in a lifetime opportunity. I've had so many messages from friends, my mum is over the moon, my sisters physically jumped on me.
They were all so excited. I think they all have great potential, I think Adam will be good competition as he has the mentality of an Olympian. AJ, her energy is next level, I feel like she is fearless, so I need to match her energy; she is like a Duracell bunny. Dragons' Den entrepreneur Sara Davies will be investing a lot of her autumn learning dancefloor moves after telling Strictly producers "I'm in!
Businesswoman Davies joined the Dragons in and at the time was the youngest investor to sit on the panel. Davies made her name and her fortune as founder of craft supplies company Crafter's Companion, which she set up while at York University and which now exports to more than 40 countries. In she was appointed MBE for services to the economy. When I got on the panel of Dragons' Den, alongside Deborah Meaden, she would talk about it all the time and people would say to me "You might be asked to go on Strictly next!
Beyond excited! It's always my favourite part of Dragons' Den, getting ready in the morning with someone making you look like your best self. So, it's like that on a whole other level on Strictly. It's like every little girl's dream! Deborah talks about it all the time and says it was one of the best experiences of her life. She said mainly your feet hurt a lot but other than that everything else is really positive!
You see them with their heads turned outward and their arms outstretched, really getting into the steps and the technicality, so I'm really excited about those dances.
