In an exclusive interview with Daily Star at the Pride of Britain Awards, the 62-year-old dancer shared her thoughts on this year’s contestants as contestants prepare for the highly anticipated Halloween week.
She confessed: “I would put them all in the final. They all deserve a place in the final. It’s very sad to see anybody go each week.
“If people have a favourite please vote for them, because they’re gonna end up in the bottom two and I’m going to have to send somebody home.
“In my opinion this is one of the strongest series that we’ve ever had and nobody, we don’t want anyone to go home. “

“And aren’t you all excited that we’re going back to the tower? We haven’t been there for a couple of years.
