Swim legend Ellie Simmonds was “super excited” to be chosen for Strictly Come Dancing yesterday.
She described it as a real honour to represent people with disability, following the victory of deaf EastEnders actor Rose Ayling-Ellis with pro Giovanni Pernice last year.
“I’ll be so, so nervous, and I will try not to think of all the people watching,” said Ellie, who attended the Commonwealth Games yesterday.
