Strictly Come Dancing 2017 has confirmed Holby City’s Chizzy Akudolu will be another of BBC Strictly contestant’s to dance her way onto the ballroom floor for BBC One’s reality series.
I met Chizzy and her sister last year when we both won awards at the ‘IARA Awards ‘ in London.
Chizzy’s character Mo was one of my favourite’s.
Last year when chatting to Chizzy she shared that she has a friend whose son is autistic. She was interested to hear more about our charity!
I also shared with her about my wonderful experience on Comic Reliefs’s ‘Peoples Strictly’ and remember saying if she was ever given the chance she should jump at the opportunity. She said she used to dance disco as a teenager after I said I won the North East EMI Disco Dance Championship.We laughed and said we were a pair of Disco Divas.
I will be routing for Mo and I am looking forward to seeing her progress.
Keep Dancing!
