“But very enjoyable. It’s very strange because the judges keep telling me I need to believe in myself and to let go, and I am trying.
“If you watch tonight, you might see a bit of that.”
And I know I’m the favourite to go home… I am every week 😂
I’m not worried about that. My family are loving it, my friends can’t believe it and the support is incredible. Also… I’m learning something amazing, from someone amazing… I intend to enjoy every minute of it 🕺🏼💃🏼
