Strictly Come Dancing - Rachel Stevens can't dance
Thursday, 28 August 2008
Singer Rachel Stevens is going to have to work hard if she wants to survive on Strictly Come Dancing.
The former S Club star admits that she isn't a natural dancer.
Rachel says: "Just because you've been on stage doesn't mean you can dance. For the first time ever, I'm doing something completely on my own and it's scary. I've always had other band members or dancers around me before.
"I would be thrilled if I won, but I can't think that far ahead. I'm taking each training session as it comes and I'm looking forward to the sexy dances like the rumba."
