Penny Lancaster-Stewart: "My Knees Will Be Knocking"

Penny Lancaster-Stewart has given an interview to the Sunday Mirror, talking all about her participation on Strictly Come Dancing.

She says she's excited and nervous about appearing: "I'm so excited when I think about it. Then a wave of panic sweeps over me. I know my knees will be knocking together and my hands will be sweating profusely."

The article reveals that she has twice before been approached to take part, but was unable to until now.

When asked about how Rod feels about her being so intimate with someone else, she says: "If I've got my leg wrapped around Ian's shoulder, it'll be because that's part of the requirements of that particular dance. If I were in a darkened nightclub or in a bedroom and I had my leg wrapped around another man, then obviously that would be a different story!"
