Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts was brutally honest when discussing training with pro dancer Giovanni Pernice ahead of the Strictly Christmas special.
Nicola, 37, and Giovanni, 32, will dance together in the festive show, and the singer joked she "might have wanted to strangle him" while they trained for the waltz.
Taking part in the dancing spectacle alongside Nicola are EastEnders star Larry Lamb, who is partnered with Nadiya Bychkova, podcaster Rosie Ramsey who will dance with Neil Jones, Radio 1 DJ Rickie Haywood-Williams and CBeebies presenter George Webster, who are partnered with Luba Mushtuk and Amy Dowden, respectively.
