Strictly contestant Angela Rippon has opened up on her rehearsal disaster ahead of Saturday night’s first live show.
Rippon, 78, who is the show’s oldest-ever contestant, and paired with professional dancer Kai Widdrington, said she was facing “night terrors” ahead of her first performance.
In a video she shared on Instagram, she explained: “Well, we have just finished my first-ever session of rehearsals on the dance floor here at the set of Strictly Come Dancing in Elstree. We all get three goes at it on the set. I have to say the first one was a bit of a disaster. The other two were OK, but Kai and I don’t have any more rehearsal time together.”
