I had a ball doing the Strictly Christmas special last year, so when I was asked to join for this series it was the easiest yes! This is a fresh challenge and it will be so different to be learning a new dance every week and for the public to have their say. I鈥檓 hoping to be Salsa-ing around Albert Square in no time and I鈥檒l be asking my Walford Strictly alumni for some words of wisdom. See you on the dancefloor!
