Strictly Come Dancing - Heather Small's inner struggle

Friday, 29 August 2008

Singer Heather Small might look confident when she is performing but she does suffer from stage fright.

She told MyParkmag: "I occasionally suffer from stage fright and, if left to my own devices, I would probably say no to anything scary.

"However, everyone said I should give it a go, so I thought, why not? I just hope my nerves don't get the better of me."

We have HUNDREDS of photos of Heather Small, Jessie Wallace and the other celebrities preparing for Strictly Come Dancing for you to enjoy in our Photo Galleries. Click here to check them out >
