Strictly's Ellie Simmonds opens up about 'challenging' waltz as Nikita shares adaptations

Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Simmonds admits the waltz has been "challenging" for both her and Nikita Kuzmin.

The 27-year-old, who has achondroplasia dwarfism, appeared on ITV's This Morning today where her and her professional dance partner chatted with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about their waltz. The pair will dance their first ballroom routine on Saturday, followed by the series first vote off to be broadcasted on the Sunday evening.

Ellie and Nikita have now opened up about their tough week. The pro dancer explained how they have had to make some adaptations, especially to their ballroom hold ahead of this weekend.
