Frankly heavenly. 9 hours on the trot - or glide. Loved, loved it all."

Anneka recently opened up about why she decided to wear a jumpsuit on the opening episode of Strictly instead of a traditional dress, explaining: "Even my wedding dress, I am not joking, I didn't see it the day before. I am just not interested Poor Vicky [Gill, Strictly's costume designer], the chats I've had with Vicky." Chatting about agreeing to do the show, she added: "It's taken me 15 years to say yes to this programme, they would go 'what about it'. This year I feel like I am on a gap year, I am a bit reckless. I am where the adventure is taking me." The pair will be performing a Waltz on Saturday following their Cha Cha in week one, which earned them 14 points from the judges.
