You’re part of a big opening number this year in the launch show with all the Judges taking to the dance floor. What can you tell us about that?
Shirley Ballas “The audience is in for a real treat, my dance shoes are back out and it feels amazing! I’ve been put through my paces, but to be dancing with my fellow Judges and the professional dancers is a feeling like no other.”
Anton Du Beke “It’s an amazingly brilliant number, I’m really delighted that we’re doing something and my fellow Judges are on great form as well. Everyone is in great shape and everyone is dancing well and it’s just a really fantastic number, it genuinely is. It felt a bit like being back in a pro number! I am on a podium it’s exciting!”
Motsi Mabuse “You think you’ve retired and you’re never going to dance again and you’ve done it all, but then Strictly calls and then the shoes are back on! I think that the audience loves to see the Judges dancing and it’s going to be a big celebration”
Craig Revel-Horwood “Well, it’s very exciting. So I’m doing an assisted backward walk over darling, which I’ve never done before, its when you drop into two boys arms, flip over and land hopefully on your feet, so that’ll be good fun! It’s really stylized, I really love the music and it’s a compilation and it’s all four Judges going up against each other!”
