The Bray native revealed that she expected the dance training to be easier but isn’t able to have her lunch break until she knows the routine fully.
“I thought it would be easier,” she told the Daily Star.
“But Giovanni was like, ‘We can’t have any breaks, let’s work hard’. He’s quite strict.
“I wanted to take a lunch break but he said until I got the steps right I couldn’t have one.
“Not until I know the routine fully.”

“Loads of people have been on Strictly before and what everyone says is, ‘Work your ass off.'”
