So lots of changes! But I expected nothing less from my experience on Strictly. I’m so proud of Phil – I tamed “the Cat” and we made it to be the 9th couple voted out of the competition.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot of hard work. Thanks for all your amazing comments on my Foxtrot last Saturday – it was a blast to do. Wow.

There are only a few weeks left of this series – so I’m excited to share that after Christmas I’ll be working on some projects with my NEW pro partner, Klaus Kongsdal.

He’s an amazing dancer and has had some Strictly in his life too. With Denmark’s Dancing with the Stars, same thing!

I’ll keep you posted on more of this. But for now we’re coming up with new choreography and lots of interesting plans in the work for Spring!!

I had a great time at my first photoshoot of my journey. Heat Magazine is doing ‘Strictly Stars Without Make Up.‘ Yup, that means me all natural – no makeup.

They sent a car for me, and treated me so nicely. So great to start things proper! I heard that Kelly Osborne was also there shooting – but didn’t run into her. It’s a shame, the papers say that Sharon has turned down offers to be on Strictly Come Dancing.

Anyway, the shoot was so liberating. I give props to Heat Magazine for doing a series that keeps it real. Sans makeup.

Strictly Come Dancing here I come!  So my news is that I’m one of the new pro dancers added to the next season of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing (the UK version of Dancing with the Stars).

Catching my flight to London tonight – but first stopped by the set of Citytv Breakfast TV for an interview (early!!) this morning.  Tangoed with BT Hosts and had an amazing time. T-A-N-G-O

Today is turning out to be a whirlwind. I still have packing…and goodbyes to say.  Excited to share my adventures with all of you as I start on this next journey.  And also watch for Strictly’s news on their site.

More to come soon!
