Alex shared in 2019: "Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we’d like to do Strictly Come Dancing. “Then I discovered that she’s actually a trained ballet dancer. "'Hang on a minute! That’s not fair!’ So, I can’t do it on a season when she is on it! “It’s also a massive commitment and, as an actor, you never know whether you’re going to be available for that time or whether it means cutting out the possibility of an acting job.
" It comes after reality star Tasha, who made history as the first deaf contestant on Love Island, was forced to defend her position on the show. She said on Kiss FM this morning: "I've not danced for quite a few years, since Love Island my career is so different. "It's such a different dance style, I may actually not be good at it, like ballet - I'm not good at ballet.
