Vogue Williams recently shared her experience participating in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special. She opened up about her journey and the unexpected turn of events when her dance partner had to drop out.
Just a few days ago, fans were thrilled to see comedian Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell win the main BBC series in what was hailed as one of the best finales ever. However, a mere 11 days later, the festive edition of the show is set to air on Christmas Day, featuring a star-studded line-up including Vogue, comedian Josh Widdicombe, RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Tayce, EastEnders' Tamzin Outhwaite, and Gladiators' Harry Aikines-Aryeetey.
In a recent conversation with Metro, Vogue fondly recalled her time training with her original partner, Carlos Gu, before he unfortunately sustained an injury and had to withdraw from the special. Gorka Márquez, who had previously taken part in the 2024 series with Morning Live star Dr Punam Krishan, stepped in as his replacement.
Vogue expressed her sadness for Carlos and the hard work he had put into their dance. However, she also acknowledged that these things happen and there's no point in dwelling on it. She embraced the change and continued to work hard with Gorka as her new partner.
The BBC spokesperson also confirmed the news, stating that Carlos had sustained an ankle injury and would not be able to participate in the Strictly Christmas special with Vogue. They wished him a speedy recovery and announced Gorka as his replacement.
Vogue shared that the show arranged for her to have a new partner quickly, and she was grateful for Gorka stepping in and being "great" to work with. Despite the unexpected change, she had a lot of fun and was glad she did it.
The model also found it fascinating to see the massive fan base of Strictly, with people at her son's school even asking her about her experience when they found out she was part of the Christmas line-up. She felt honored to be a part of such a beloved show.
Vogue couldn't speak highly enough of everyone who works on Strictly, emphasizing how kind and welcoming they all are. She also mentioned the physical toll the rehearsals took on her body, despite being used to regular training in the gym.
She clarified that just because she trains and goes to the gym, it doesn't mean she's a natural dancer. In fact, she revealed that she's always been self-conscious about dancing and hasn't enjoyed it in a long time. However, participating in Strictly has given her some confidence and improved her skills.
As for the rest of the celebrity contestants in the Christmas special, Vogue praised their efforts and performances, saying they were all high-energy and enjoyable to watch. She also had kind words for her fellow contestants, particularly Harry, Josh, Tayce, Tamzin, and Billy.
Vogue and Josh may not be breaking any dance records, but they had a great time together and even joked about messing up in the group dances. The Strictly Christmas special is set to air on Christmas Day, and fans can't wait to see these stars take to the dance floor.
