Vicky Pattison's Strictly Anxiety
Vicky Pattison, Women's Health cover star, opens up about her pre-show nerves on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Initially, joining the show felt like a dream come true, but now she's "regretting absolutely everything" and feels out of her comfort zone.
'But now I’m in the midst of it – balls deep – I’m regretting absolutely everything. I’m really out of my comfort zone.'
Gemma Atkinson, a former Strictly contestant, offered Vicky advice to calm her nerves.
'You’ve got to think, for three minutes every Saturday night, you’re going to have the best time on the dancefloor. Dancing with the wonderful Kai – you’re in safe hands, and you won’t get the opportunity again.'
Vicky has been trying to take Gemma's advice to heart, giving herself a "talking to" to manage her anxiety.
