Despite this year's celebrities being put through their paces by their professional dance partners, it sounds like things aren't going well for fashion expert Susannah Constantine, who recently branded her training as 'disastrous'.
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."
Oh dear! 🙈
