"I haven't seen anybody dance but I just love the plethora of characters in there, because they are all so different and I think that's what is so great about it.
"Four new dancers as well coming into it, and they are just amazing, so I can't wait. Of course I am gonna miss the old lot as well and Bruno [Tonioli] as well and all that, but you know things move on darling don't they.
