Ann To Dance Through Tragedy

Ann has vowed to dance on, despite losing her brother Malcolm to cancer on Tuesday.

The Daily Mail reports that Ann learned the news while in training with Anton.

A source told the paper: "Ann is being a stoic. The producers told her that, of course, she should miss this week’s show. But one of ­Malcolm’s last acts of consciousness was to turn to the TV screen and laugh fondly at Ann. He loved her performance the week before. His wife, Meryl, and his children very much want Ann to continue to do the show."

My condolences go to Ann and her family at this difficult time. Throughout my life, I have found that dancing is a great way to ease your sadness for just a short while. I hope Ann finds similar comfort.
