My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.

The thing about me is that I love variety. I like to try new things, and I don't want to be pinned back.

It's great that ballroom dancing is being recognised. For many years ballroom dancers were misunderstood and other dance forms didn't want anything to do with us.

On my gravestone, I want 'Here lies the singer,' not 'Here lies the T.V. presenter'.

My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.

When you dance together, there's a fabulous interaction. It's quite intimate. You're touching your partner, leading them. Learning how to behave in that person's proximity is a skill. I love it. I can't imagine tiring of it.
