This week it was finally time to take to the dance floor and compete in Strictly Sunderland. When I woke up on the morning of the event I hadn’t expected to feel as nervous as I did.
I didn’t even feel that nervous when I hosted the National Fitness Awards.
I donned my Charleston costume and me and my wonderful friend and dance partner, Stuart Hatton, took to the floor. Our routine was so fast I could hardly breathe at the end, but the atmosphere in the room was amazing, and it felt like the dance was over in a flash.
Once we had finished performing it was time for the judges comments and scores and I was buzzing when we were the only couple to receive full marks from the judges.
Sadly, we didn’t win the audience vote, but a big well done to champions Fiona and Gavin who took the trophy home, and of course a massive high five to everyone who took part, everyone was class.
Check out my Facebook page to see the video of mine and Stuart’s Charleston, I’m dead proud of it.
I couldn’t write about Strictly Sunderland without congratulating Debbie Hayes of Make My Day events and Nicola Collinson of Rough Diamond Entertainment on putting together and hosting a absolutely cracking night.
It was slick, entertaining and all round blooming brilliant.
