La Voix and her pro partner Aljaž Škorjanec will take to the floor tonight with the Cha Cha Cha to Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk after a rehearsal for theperformance, the flame-haired singer admitted that years of touring her shows have not prepared her for the Strictly Come Dancing schedule.She said: “I’m used to doing a show just on an evening and maybe prepping and warming up later in the afternoon. So the length of hours is completely different. It’s obviously a different skill set and also add on to that, when you’re exhausted, you then do the show on BBC, and it goes out live.
“The exhaustion is what pulls you through. I think sometimes I found it mentally a journey, physically, a journey. I can see why people say it’s the hardest thing they ever do, but ever do, but it’s also the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever done.”
However, there is one element she is not enjoying. As someone who is used to the highest and most glamorous of heels in her real life the dance shoes simply are not cutting it for her.
“The shoes are awful. I don’t know where they get from. I think there must be a marketing forum they go to? I mean, they’re, you know, they’re the shoes that you’d see your grandma wearing,” she joked.
