Felicity Says She Can't Win

Felicity Kendall says she is being realistic about her chances on the show, and believes she cannot win.

She told the Daily Mail: "You have to be athletic beyond belief to win this show. You have to actually get to the standard of a semi-professional dancer. And to do that you can only go up to your 30s for God’s sake. So the answer is NO!"

She also understands how couples get involved on the show, although despite 'that kiss', her and Vincent's relationship is strictly platonic: "I can understand how everyone starts falling in love and marriages break down. You do get very relaxed! For me, it’s not that unusual because you have to do the same thing with acting:­ ­shyness has to go. But the closeness that comes if you’re much younger, my God I don’t think I could have ­managed this at 20. You get so reliant on the person that if you are two ­people who are attracted, that’s the end of whatever you’ve got at home. Male or female, it doesn’t matter which way round it is, it’s someone you rely on to hold you up when you fall down. When you’re being praised or criticised, you’re at your most vulnerable and you do see every couple bonding in a ­particular way. I’m bonding with Vincent — not in THAT way, but in a very strong friendship way."
