Strictly: Angela Scanlon jokes she’s ‘furious’
Strictly Come Dancing star Angela Scanlon has jokingly taken umbrage with the tour schedule for the BBC show. The Dublin-born star won't have local support during the shows as it isn't leaving mainland UK.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain to discuss the 2024 live tour which kicks off tomorrow, she laughed: "We’re not going to Belfast and Dublin though. We’re absolutely furious as that would have been a shoo-in [to win]."
Despite not making it to home turf the couple is still hoping to nab a couple of glitterball trophies on the tour, which sees a different winner crowned each night.
"She deserves it one hundred per cent a glitterball," Carlos gushed. "We're definitely going for that glitterball. A couple of nights – not all of it but yeah."
Asked if she was finding the training different for the tour Angela seemed quite confident. "Well, the steps that are all the same and they are kind of ingrained so it’s just shifts in position. We’re going to the left instead of the right. So I say it’s grand but we’ll see.
"[Doing] it in front of that many people with that much energy coming at you it slightly throws you a bit," she acknowledged.
"There’s lots of backing dancers which I’ve never had to contend with before, so I’m hoping I don’t elbow anyone!”
Having previously described doing the jive as more harder than childbirth host Susanna Reid asked how she had coped doing the show just 18 months after giving birth to her second daughter.
“It was a big part of the motivation for me, the physicality of it," Angela admitted. "I used to be super fit and after having my two girls, I was more gentle and did things that were more chill physically, apart from the birthing of the pair of them.”

“So I quite fancied the idea of doing something that pushed me physically, but the jive… I mean sucker punch as it was week two and I hadn’t built up the stamina or fitness, but it was a ferocious jive, it was intense.
“I feel really proud and there was a sense of reminding myself of my strength beforehand.
"But what I hadn’t banked on was the emotional journey, the physicality was what I was fixated on and the rest of it was a cherry on the top,” she said.
Good Morning Britain is on ITV and ITVX weekdays at 6am.
