Strictly: Sally Nugent details training for Christmas special
BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent has shared that she’s finding training for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special “hard” and “full-on.”
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the host opened up to fellow presenter Jon Kay about her upcoming stint on the BBC dance competition.
The 52-year-old has been partnered with Italian dancer Graziano Di Prima, who was originally paired with Zara McDermott in the main show before they were eliminated a few weeks ago.
Earlier this morning, Jon explained that Sally had signed up for the programme, but she said: “Not competing, just taking part.”
He then asked how training was going, and Sally replied: “It’s hard! I’m really not a dancer so to learn to dance in quite a short space of time is tough.”

However, Sally did admit that she was enjoying herself and having fun: “Yes. I’m not very good.”
Jon then argued that Sally is a good dancer after having claimed to see a clip of her, to which Sally hit back: “I look like a very tense newsreader and that’s fine because that is what I am.”
She continued: “I’m just going to enjoy it and do my best and try very hard not to fall over.”
Sally will be dancing alongside other famous faces such as rugby player Danny Cipriani, journalist Dan Snow and EastEnders actor Jay Borthwick.

Sally confirmed the news of her signing with some sweet snaps of herself with Graziano on the Strictly set.
She penned: “I was in need of a little pick me up when the lovely people at Strictly called. They kindly suggested I might like to learn to dance with @grazianodiprima in time for Christmas.
“I am definitely not a dancer – but I will try my best. And there is no one better to learn with. Join us on our Christmas adventure and I guarantee that we will all have fun along the way. Ciao.”
