I'M ALWAYS FIRST ON THE DANCE FLOOR!
SONIA GRAY, ACTRESS & LOTTO PRESENTER
The former Shortland Street villain says, “I'm always first on the dance floor at a wedding and the last to leave!" But will Sonia make it to the grand finale of Dancing With The Stars? The anxious actress, who recently appeared in the Netflix rom-com The Royal Treatment, admits she'll struggle to remember all the moves and that “looking natural is going to be a challenge”. She explains, “My signature move is ‘mouth open' - I always dance with my mouth open, which my friends give me a really hard time about, but when I'm happy, I just can't shut my mouth!” Sonia also tells Woman's Day she's “not great with criticism” and sometimes falls when hoofing it in high heels, but she's looking to make her twin daughters, Thandie and Inez, proud. “They're pretty excited, as you can imagine!” And she might just do that with two-time winner Aaron Gilmore - who took home the mirrorball trophy with Samantha Hayes in 2018 and Lorraine Downes in 2006 - as her dance partner. The song that always gets Sonia on the dance floor? Hot In Herre by Nelly.
