    I am thrilled & honoured to be recognised as a Dame by The Queen @RoyalFamily for services to dance & charity. This is truly the highest recognition I could ever have dreamed of. Thank you to the countless talented people I have worked with, my family, friends, followers & fans♥️

    My heart is truly broken hearing the news today about @GrumpyLGoodman. Almost 20 years ago we were both invited to the making of the original pilot of @bbcstrictly. We made a pact that afternoon we would agree to do the show only if we could both do it ❤️ 1/2

    I certainly am not complaining. Rather elegant actually.

    Alison thank you for your apology but I would just like to say , you have no idea what it is really like for those performers in the shows where the songs are popular hits and certain members of the audience feel entitled to join in. Contd

    Bruce was an indestructible titan tap dancing his way through life. Working with him on @bbcstrictly was personally a joy. I will miss him

    Today marks 25 years since brave beautiful brilliant Kenny Everett passed away. Little did I realise that when my dance group Hot Gossip appeared on his video show it would cause a TV revolution that changed my life. I’ll forever be grateful to him ♥️
