What people are saying
I'm very, very grateful to be back. Kai has been so amazing every day, checking in and working together at how we can make this happen and still heal and do the best we can
Everyone's been so lovely and kind and beautiful, all the messages... I've been going in waves of tears all week! I'm super happy to be here.
I'm extremely excited by the song, one of my favourite songs of all time, 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' by Celine Dion.
So we're dancing the Rumba this week which is the slowest of the Latin dances but it's one of the most difficult, especially for the female dance partners.
