Still reeling from his incredible one-arm lift on Saturday night with dance partner Ola, Kenny has revealed there is another important milestone coming up for him this week. When I heard I was through I thought about one of my goals, my mum’s birthday,’ he said. ’1 December, I wanted to get there.’
Kenny has given himself a few targets throughout the competition, including the decision to wear a kilt during the Paso Doble in week 5. ‘After week 5 I hadn’t thought about goals,’ he said. ‘But I don’t want to get knocked out on my mum’s birthday.’
Kenny has also revealed that he was incredibly nervous ahead of the lifts on Saturday’s show, despite making them look easy. ‘The rehearsals were rubbish due to Ola’s dress, she was slipping, so I was worried about the lifts. During the rehearsal I got a few things wrong.’
‘Making SCD history with a one-arm lift was amazing. It was hard to spin at the same time. On the night it was hard because she had these beads on her dress and my hands were sweaty’.
Having achieved his last two goals we’re rooting for Kenny to make his third milestone. And we reckon if he does manage to stay in the competition it’ll be the best birthday present his mum will ever have!
