Three Strictly legends pull back the glittery curtain on the UK’s biggest dance show.
Oti Mabuse opens up about breaking down in the shower during the show’s most intense moments, and the pressure she felt to represent Black women in the spotlight.
Karen Hauer reflects on dancing with her ex Kevin Clifton after their breakup - and gives an honest take on the “Strictly Curse” - why emotional connections form, and how it changes relationships forever.
Ashley Roberts shares how appearing on Strictly became a tribute to her late father, and why dance remains deeply personal for her.
These are the stories behind the sparkle - raw, real, and rarely told.
