Susannah Constantine brands her Strictly Come Dancing training 'disastrous'
She says she's on Day 3 of her training
Fashion expert Susannah Constantine knows EXACTLY what she's talking about when it comes to style. Having worked in the industry for nearly 25 years, there's no doubt that her confidence on her subject is second to none.
HOWEVER. Having signed up to this year's Strictly Come Dancing, the 56-year-old has admitted that she's not getting on super well - despite the optimism of her professional partner, Anton Du Beke.
Taking to Instagram, the style guru has shared a video diary of how her training is going today, which is Day 3 of rehearsals.
She said, "It’s the beginning of day three of training. How’s it going? I would say I’m walking on a tightrope of disaster as opposed to a nice wide bridge.
"I’m finding it so hard to get the steps. When Anton says, 'What foot are you standing on?' I’ll go, 'right' and it’ll be my left. And he’ll go again, 'What foot are you standing on, front or back?' and I’ll go 'the front' and I’m standing on the back."

She continued, "It’s like I just can’t get my brain to engage and I don’t know if that’s age or... I just don’t know what it is. Or maybe it’s fear. Anyway, I think it’s not going very well.
"Anton is much more positive than me, and he is an amazing man and I am loving the friendship that’s building between us. That is the best thing that I could ever wish for. So I just hope that I can get these bloody steps stuck in my brain."
The video was flooded with comments from supportive fans who told her to keep the faith. One wrote, 'Keep going Susannah, you're doing great and you will get there eventually,' as another added, 'Smash it gorgeous lady we will all be cheering you on Saturday night, have an amazing day.'
