I was anticipating these romance rumours from working day just one. I’m 19, he’s 21, we’re the two one, so I come to feel like it was inevitable – but we’re just good friends at the minute. When I commented on his Instagram – I literally stated he appeared like spaghetti – anyone went mad contacting me a flirt! I’m enjoying receiving to know him, we surely have a link, but we’re just friends.

Is there any person else on the scene?

There’s been a few of boys sliding into my DMs! Persons observed me shake my hips on the samba and it tickled a few of feathers! So I have had a few of folks message me…

Anybody we’d know?

Ooh, I could not say. I have had messages from a few of footballers, but I can’t say who – it wouldn’t be reasonable. But to be trustworthy, with Strictly and lockdown, I’m not relationship. I love remaining one, I’m acquiring joy inside of myself and it’s taken me a prolonged time to do that. I’m making an attempt to concentration on that before I open up up to an individual else.

Wise text. You glimpse great by the way. Have you seen any variations to your overall body considering that you started out coaching for the clearly show?

I have place on bodyweight! I make dinners at the weekend to previous the whole week and I take in them inside of two days. The gyms are shut and I’m a gymnasium freak – which is where I come to feel happiest – but I don’t come to feel like I’m lacking. In the first lockdown I struggled with out the gymnasium, but this time close to I have not felt that. I’m receiving so potent each working day. And dancing is the most enjoyable!

How have you managed to juggle your busy Strictly plan close to EastEnders?

I’m not overly busy with my schedules at the minute, which is helpful with the total of coaching I have had to do, but they’ve all been so supportive. So numerous of the forged have carried out Strictly before, so I have had a good deal of aid and encouragement and advice. Jake Wood, Natalie Cassidy, Emma Barton, they all just instructed me to have enjoyable. I’m way way too competitive with myself. They hold reminding me not to get down if I’m not doing to complete perfection. But figuring out the forged that have carried out it currently, there was a good deal to reside up to! I have not wished to let any person down.

Which EastEnder really should do Strictly future?

Zack Morris, my onscreen companion [who performs Keegan Baker], would be incredible. He’s so, so talented and he’s loved watching me on the clearly show. I know deep down he’d love to do it and I would love to see him on the dance floor future 12 months.

Can you see your self remaining on the Square prolonged term?

I’m surely preparing to stay in EastEnders for a bit extended, for positive. I’m loving the superb storylines they’re supplying me – I’m genuinely hard myself each month with my acting when it will come to what my character has gone by means of. I’m loving remaining on the clearly show, but in the foreseeable future I want to be a Marvel superhero. I’m all set for it! Give it a couple a long time and I‘ll be the first ginger Ponder Female.

Your mum Julia’s a big strike on TikTok many thanks to her moves! How do you imagine she’d fare on Strictly?

Oh, she’s an icon and Strictly is so up her street. She’s confident she’ll be on the clearly show future 12 months and so am I! She’s so sassy – she’s bought a lot more sass than me. In point, she’s where I get it from. She’s just fire, that lady. And she’d get rid of it on the clearly show. She’d be receiving 10s each week for positive.

Have you identified it tough remaining aside from your family members during the clearly show?

We reside like an hour and a 50 percent away, so it’s not like I can go and sit in entrance of their door for an hour and chat, but we FaceTime frequently. When they ended up watching in the viewers they stayed in a resort, so they could come by and sit at the close of my driveway conversing. I did not hope to overlook them so a great deal. I’d put in the whole of the first lockdown with my family members, so I considered I’d be great to have a bit of separation. But the real truth is, I did not realise how a great deal I genuinely have to have them in my life. I have skipped them and I can’t hold out to commit a lot more time with them, but Strictly was generally the sacrifice I was willing to make.
