Strictly Come Dancing series 8 was the most exciting for me as I got to go and see the show and meet some of the stars! The first person I met was the lovely Kara Tointon and I like to think that my calming words before her first show propelledher to win that glitterball trophy with Artem Chigvintsev.
So what were the highlights of Strictly Come Dancing 2010? The first thing that comes to mind is The Widdecombe. Who can forget Ann Widdecombe flying through the air on a harness towards Anton? Of course there was Matt Baker and Aliona’s ill-thought out freestyle dance in the final and the effortless champions and lovebirds Kara and Artem.
