Pop princess Pixie Lott has shed light on Strictly Come Dancing , ten years after appearing on the programme. In recent months, the BBC show has been surrounded by controversy and allegations of abuse . But Pixie, 33, who is back with her fourth album admits this couldn't be further from what she experienced.
The star competed on the programme alongside professional dancer Trent Whiddon but sadly left in 10th place. Despite topping the leaderboard four times and having the highest average score throughout the series, Pixie and Trent lost out in Week 11 to Blue singer Simon Webb and his partner, Kristina Rihanoff. During an exclusive chat with the Mirror , the Bromley-born singer and actress admitted while Strictly was intense, she had a positive experience.
"I loved my partner, and he only did it for the one year that I did Strictly," she said. Speaking from her home, Pixie added: "He was amazing and his partner, Gordana, we're still really good friends. They live in Slovenia so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like but whenever they're over, we always see them.
We're great friends and we had the best time." Reflecting on the best parts of the show, the Somebody's Daughter singer admitted the performances were her "favourite" but she was left very nervous performing on live TV, admitting: "It's so nerve-wracking, I don't even know how people who aren't performers do it because it's so it just feels so live. And I've done so many live TVs, but that just feels so live.
