Strictly Come Dancing star Judi Love revealed how she “lost her mind” during her BBC show experience.
The Loose Women panelist did amazing on the show and loved every minute of it – though she said there were some tricky parts.
Judi exclusively told us: “I can’t believe I done it, I really can’t – I was like yeah I’m doing this and I was like ‘oh my god, what have I just done?’

“Then they hit you with glam and photoshoots and now go sweat for six hours it was hard work but it was a great experience.”
But do the nerves get better or did she feel them every week?

She answered: “Every week – I think you get to Wednesday and you’re like I’m not nervous about the show I’m nervous about not learning the dance.
“By Friday you lose your mind and don’t know what you’re doing and on Saturday you’re like ‘why am I doing this? I feel sick’.
“I use to feel more nervous about doing the dance three times in front of production than the live shows. That was more nerve-wracking for me than when you go live.

“With the lives, you have people clapping and watching you but when you’re doing it in front of production and cameras it’s a lot more nerve-wracking.”
Judi was paired with professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima and compared the show to online dating.
She said: “I say it’s like online dating – you haven’t met, then you meet and you’re like ‘oh my god, I’m in love’.
“Then you have that time to start to show off your pictures online and then you get voted out and that’s like your breakup and then all of a sudden you don’t have pictures together and the next time you see him with someone else and you’re like he’s dating someone else…

“But yeah, I speak to Graz all the time and his wife Giada and I’m just championing him.
“These dancers are so professional, they’re like little therapists they really pull out of ‘you can do’ this.”
