LOOSE WOMEN PRESENTER KAYE ADAMS CHATS TO OK! ABOUT TAKING TO THE DANCE FLOOR FOR STRICTLY COME DANCING

'I WAS KICKED OUT OF BALLET CLASS!'

By her own admission, Kaye Adams isn’t the most obvious person to join this year’s Strictly Come Dancing line-up.

The popular Loose Women presenter has spent her entire life avoiding dance floors, describes herself as “not good at the sexy stuff” and admits that the one and only time she took dance lessons she was asked to leave.

So, her decision to take part in this year’s contest is one that even she still can’t quite understand. “I don’t know what came over me, I really don’t!” Kaye laughs.

She continues, “I’ve never had it in my head to do Strictly. Not because I don’t like the programme – I love it. I’ve just always seen it as something I couldn’t do.

“I’ve always been the person sitting at the side of the dance floor nursing my drink, looking at other people dancing and thinking it looks wonderful to be able to let go like that and enjoy music. But I can’t do that.

“I never even did dance lessons as a child. When I was five the ballet teacher very diplomatically asked my mum to take me away; she called me Kipper Feet. I’ve never forgotten it. Even at five, I got the vibe that I wasn’t going to be Margot Fonteyn!”

Strictly is famous for its sequins, sparkles and short dresses, and while there are fun dances aplenty – including the Charleston and the Jive – Kaye admits that one of the hardest parts of the show will be unleashing her sultry side in the more passionate numbers.
