‘Strictly Come Dancing’: Laura Whitmore Admits To Not Feeling ‘100% Me’ Ahead Of Return To The Dancefloor

Laura Whitmore has admitted that she’s struggling to regain confidence slightly, following an injury that saw her miss a week of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

Laura was unable to perform on last Saturday’s show, when doctors ordered her to rest due to a foot injury.

Tonight (Saturday 29 October), Laura will be back on the dancefloor, and speaking ahead of the show, she’s admitted to feeling a little worried.

“I am a really confident person when it comes to presenting on TV but I’ve lost it,” she tells The Mirror. “I feel like I’m not 100% me. When you start the show you’re so out of your depth.

“I felt terrible last Saturday but I’ve given myself a new lease. You can only do your best.

“I’m so happy to be here for Halloween. I’ve been watching ‘Strictly’ every year and Halloween is the fun one - you have the hair and make-up and stuff.

“I’ve always wanted to learn the tango because you see it in movies. It’s going to be quite dramatic.”

The celebs will all be pulling out the stops for the special Halloween week, and Judge Rinder is about to attempt something that could be extraordinary.

The ITV star will become a flying moth - yes, seriously - for his Paso Doble to Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’, with partner Oksana Platero dressed as a butterfly.

Meanwhile, Laura and Giovanni Pernice are performing their tango to ‘Paint It Black’ by the Rolling Stones.
