No grandma has ever won a glitter ball award, she said. Dr Xand van Tulleken told Kym on BBC Morning Live:
‘I don’t think an old lady has ever won a Serious before, so maybe you’re a pioneer!’
She replied with:
“I’m working for the grandparents out there.”
When it was confirmed that she would appear in the next season, she also said on the morning show:
“I thought about doing Serious for years, but the date never got sorted out. I’m so glad they have this year!
She continued:
“I’m a huge fan of the show and I can’t believe I’m going from watching in my gowns at home to dancing in front of the judges in a glittery outfit, it’s amazing !”
Marsh also said her parents were hiding behind the curtain when she auditioned for the show and were even more thrilled to see her dance. Even so, the actress is still eager to master new forms of dance that will make a stark contrast to her pop world. Strictly Come Dancing will air on BBC One on September 23 at 7pm ET.
