When speaking about her experience performing the cha-cha on last week’s show, Laura admitted she was extremely nervous but seeing Giovanni’s face before she went on put her at ease.
“I have never been more nervous or petrified in my whole life.” she said. “I normally talk and talk and beforehand I was (zips lips).It was nice to see Giovanni’s face before going out.
“There was one bit where I had to turn so I was going to look the judges in the eye. I was aiming for Darcey and her lovely face but I got Craig just staring at me blankly.”
Laura then went on to say that she has received an incredible amount of support since taking part in the show.
“I have a lot of cousins who are all watching and I’ve got a lot of love everywhere,” she said. “Even walking down the street, any age, guys and girls, it’s crazy the reaction you get from one show. And it’s all lovely support.”
