The EastEnders actress says the BBC dance contest is harder than expected as she joins 15 celebrity contestants in the new series.
- On Saturday, EastEnders actress Lacey Turner and actress Jaime Winstone discussed their training for BBC Strictly Come Dancing, which premieres this weekend. Both described the show as "the hardest thing" they have ever done.
- Turner admitted she was previously hesitant to join after watching friends exhaust themselves on the show. Winstone echoed the sentiment, describing it as "gruelling" while adjusting to learning routines with a professional dancer.
- Fifteen celebrities comprise the new cast, including former Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen and Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey. Participants will be partnered with professional dancers during the launch show on Saturday, September 19.
- New hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Rabe have replaced long-time presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. Turner noted the new team cannot "fill their shoes" but have "create something new."
- Winstone hopes her father, actor Ray Winstone, will attend live shows alongside Danny Dyer, father of fellow contestant Dani Dyer. He is set to appear in the upcoming film Going Under with Dyer.
