Strictly Come Dancing’s Angela Rippon has shared the fitness secrets behind her impressive leg lift.
The show’s oldest contestant, aged 79, stunned viewers as she showed off her flexibility on the first live show while performing the Cha Cha with her partner Kai Widdrington.
“I keep saying, it is a kind of party trick, I just am very supple,” Rippon said, when asked how she was able to pull off the leg lift during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Thursday 26 October.
“I play tennis, I go to pilates, I keep fit for the day job that I do. Every morning I stretch, it is just one of those things I can do.”
