The presenter will take to the Strictly dance floor for the first time this weekend - and already feels a mixture of excitement and nerves over learning one dance in particular
Angela Scanlon has said she is particularly looking forward to learning how to dance the rumba on Strictly Come Dancing despite the possibility that it will be “grossly uncomfortable for me and everybody watching”.
The sensual, rhythmic routine is notoriously tricky and known for often putting competitors into the dreaded dance-off. Scanlon, who described her Strictly competitors as a “gorgeous bunch”, follows in the footsteps of other Irish famous faces who have graced the famous dancefloor, including garden designer Diarmuid Gavin, who took part in the second series of the show.
The One Show presenter, who married businessman Roy Horgan in 2014 and has two daughters, is also a published author and host of positivity podcast Thanks A Million.
