Describe Strictly in one word?: "Magical."
How do you feel to be part of Strictly's 20th year?: "Really special. Being from Birmingham, I've watched the show growing up. I watched the first episode, so I can't believe I'm now part of it, especially in such a monumental year. It's the best show on telly, so I'm not surprised it's lasted 20 years, and I just feel really lucky to be part of it. It's amazing."
