Strictly Come Dancing Begins
Well its been a week of intensive training now and im not gonna lie,im shattered!!! I knew it would be hard but i never thought it would be this tough!! Getting used to cuban high heels for one thing(fancy dress doesnt count!!) So why do it? Im working 12 hour days filming hollyoaks then straight off to the studios to rehearse my routines til 11pm ish. Im not leaving hollyoaks just yet(most people only do reality shows when they are leaving shows,promoting books,dvds or trying to get back into the business),i simply would love the opportunity to learn how to dance properly!! I love the show and am willing to work as hard as i can to go as far as i can in the show,nobody can say i wont be putting in any effort or lacking commitment!!
So ive been paired with the lovely Natalie Lowe, widely known as the ozzy hottie. She is great,a really nice girl who is GREAT fun but at the same time focused on getting me to the final. She already gets on too well with my girlfriend Carley,the pair ganging up on me at dinner rippin into me was great fun!!!I was a rose between two thorns!!!! For those who havnt heard of her til now,she appeared on Australias Dancing With The Stars for 5 years and knows how it feels to get to the final and come away with the trophy so im in good hands with the ozzy champ. The things this girl can do with her body on a dance floor are incredible!!Her choreography is immense and beautiful and if i can nail it,we will go far……however,thats where the hard work comes in. 5 years ago i broke my leg and so my balance and posture is all out of sync, i pick routines up quick but its the technical stuff thats challenging me. Keeping form and frame and have therefore been given numerous evil exercises by Nat to strengthen my legs,joints and posture. To look at her you would have thought she were an angel,but as soon as i step into her office,man shes evil,i think she could bully me to the final,fear can do wonders for a mans rythmn!!!!! Nah, seriously,she is patient(she needs to be!!) and very talented and its a pleasure to meet and work with her, we just want the show to start!!!
