00:00I'm living the dream every day. I mean, I walk into Elstree and I say, and it started off as
00:05a bit of a joke,
00:06oh, you know, another day in paradise. And it is living the dream for me. I love the show.
00:11People have started saying to me as I walk in the door, another day in paradise. Yep, you bet.
00:16You've spoken before about your love of dancing. Where did that come from?
00:20Well, I did a thing called Strictly Northampton in 2012.
00:25And I wish I could tell you I was really good, but I wasn't. I was rubbish. I never even
00:29made the final.
00:32But I carried on because I just loved doing it. So it became a hobby.
00:36And me being me, I don't do things by half. So I entered a few competitions, beginner, novice, and ended
00:43up at Intermediate.
00:44But in 2019, I had a stroke. So it all came to an end.
00:49And until Strictly, I hadn't danced since then. I just thought, well, my dancing days were over kind of thing.
00:55I don't suppose I ever will. But here I am.
00:57It is on Strictly.
00:58It really is another day in paradise.
01:00Yeah, it really is. Honestly, I'm loving it. Yeah, it's great.
