Strictly Come Dancing’s stars are preparing to perform in Blackpool this weekend with professional dancer Lauren Oakley revealing there is “much excitement swirling round” ahead of the show.
Saturday’s live show at Blackpool Tower Ballroom will be the first time the 33-year-old has competed on the BBC dancing show at the venue famed for its bouncy floor, after she stepped in to partner JLS singer JB Gill when fellow dancer Amy Dowden was forced to pull out because of injury.
