Laura Whitmore has revealed the scariest thing she’s ever done, and shockingly enough- she says that it was being in the bottom two on last weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing. 

Writing in her blog for Glamour Magazine, Laura explained that the dance-off was an experience that terrified her and one that left her extremely disappointed.

“You never know how this competition will go. I was devastated, as I’m having such a wonderful time that I don’t want to go yet, but I also think Tameka is a beautiful dancer who didn’t deserve to be in the bottom two.

“The dance-off is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I couldn’t even look at my mam’s face in the audience or I would have fallen apart,” she wrote.

The former MTV presenter said that in order to get through the ordeal she focussed on her partner Giovanni and gave her salsa routine all she’d got.

“I just focused on Gio as I was hoisted onto the trapeze to prepare for the dance-off. I honestly felt like I was up there for about an hour before the music started. This could have been the last time I would dance on Strictly, so I was going to listen to what the judges said and give it all I had.

“It was the first time Gio had put lifts in one of our routines. Salsa requires three, in fact. Now, the only lift I’m used to is being put on someone’s shoulders at Glastonbury.

“So, at 5ft 8in and with gangly limbs, being flung around a dance floor is a challenge, to say the least. Thankfully, my dance partner is very strong,” she wrote.

Deservedly, Laura made it through to next week’s show.
