‘We tried – it was a no. The head of entertainment tried – it was a no. The heads of news and BBC One tried to talk her around.’: ‘I used to send people – we’re in the same building – to show her pictures of the dresses, but she was like: “Karen, you’re just making it worse! You’re making me more nervous!”.’Thankfully, the TV presenter was persuaded, even though those nerves didn’t exactly vanish overnight.
‘I didn’t want to take what I felt was a step backwards. Ultimately, I was persuaded. Once I signed the contract, I had a terrible rush of anxiety and tried to break my ankle by falling off every street corner. I was trying to think of every possible reason not to do it.’It didn’t take long for her to fall in love with ballroom and latin dancing, though, and she proved a real hit with viewers, with her and Brendan only in the bottom two once.
