Sharing her excitement about her foray onto the dancefloor today (Tuesday, August 5), the NHS GP said: "This still doesn't feel real, I am overjoyed to be a contestant on this year's show.

I have watched Strictly every year with my family and it feels extra special that it's the 20th year, I can't believe I will be the one getting Strictly-fied now. "This is so out of my comfort zone, but I'm up for the journey and will give it my absolute all."

Slipknot’s Corey Taylor reveals he’s making changes to touring plans for his health: “I’m only going to work so much”
Slipknot’s Corey Taylor has revealed that he’s making changes to touring plans in the future for his health saying, “I’m only going to work so much”.Back in January, the Slipknot frontman cancelled his previously scheduled North American solo tour, citing struggles with his well-being.“For the past several months my mental and physical health have been breaking down, and I reached a place that was unhealthy for my family and I,” he wrote in a statement at the time.“I know this decision will come as a shock to some and may be regarded as unpopular by others – but after taking a hard look at where I am and where I was going, I need to pull myself back and be home with my family for the time being,” he added, also telling fans that those who had already bought tickets would be issued a refund.The tour was in celebration of his second solo album ‘CMFT2’, which arrived back in September 2023 and saw him play a series of tour dates across Europe and the UK.Now, in a new interview with Alternative Press, Taylor has opened up more about his struggles saying he hit “a real dark point” earlier this year and that he needed to make some changes to the way he works for his well-being – including touring.He told the publication: “I found that my pursuit of work and all things ego was killing me. And nearly killed me.“So I’ve reinvested my life to the point [where] I’m only going to work so much.
