I’m horrendous at dancing but I think if you do ‘Strictly’, you go on to another level, and that’s a level I have never been at.

I once called EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer ‘a scrubber in a Puffa jacket who cries all the time’ on ‘Strictly.’ She said I wasn’t actually a dancer. That wasn’t my finest moment.

‘Drake and Josh’ was strictly nine to five. We’d go in and know what we were doing, and ‘Superhero Movie’ was just nuttiness every day because there’s a joke every ten seconds.

University was a shock to the system. At times, I really thought I couldn’t do it. It’s the same with ‘Strictly.’ I’m completely out of my comfort zone.

One of the interesting things about the Ozarks is you just about don’t have street crime. It’s strictly between people who know each other. It really isn’t indiscriminate; it’s kind of between themselves.

I wanted to work strictly as a freelance actor, and that’s the way it turned out.

In the music world, concerts unfold strictly according to plan. But, as I’d been finding out, in the book world, things keep changing by the second.

I’ve watched ‘Strictly’ every single year. I think the only year I didn’t watch it was when I was on ‘X Factor!’ I was a bit busy in 2012! But apart from that, I’ve always watched it.

I had four fantastic years on ‘Strictly’ and they were honestly the best moments of my life – meeting friends, just seeing the whole team work.

Food does not rank high on my list. I eat to live, and I’m very particular about my diet. It’s strictly low fat diet for me.

Blackpool is absolutely huge in Strictly but when you come from South Africa and you have your first impressions and you arrive in Blackpool, well it’s different. It’s different let’s put it that way. But what I’ll also say, if you walk into the ballroom it’s absolutely spectacular.

If bloggers are to improve our public discourse – helping busy and usually uninformed people make sense of the world – it is necessary to use some sort of standard with which to judge their reliability. Perhaps the answer (strictly advisory) is a body of their peers. Perhaps not.

I get asked to do panel shows, and reality stuff, like getting in a cage with a shark. I got asked to do a ‘Strictly’ special, but it’s not my bag. If I’m being interviewed, that’s OK, but anything else fills me with dread.

When I was trained as a journalist, as a race-relations reporter in Nashville covering the end of the civil-rights movement, we were strictly forbidden to use the first-person pronoun. There was kind of an electric charge around it. To come out from hiding and use the word ‘I’ carried a lot of fright for me.

Christian values were important at home. Cleanliness. Don’t steal. Don’t lie. Those were the rules, and they were strictly enforced. Especially the stealing and lying. When you broke the rules, you got a beating. I always broke the rules a lot.

I always enjoy the process, meeting somebody new and spending time with them and becoming friends with them. That has always been the joy of ‘Strictly’ for me, so I enjoy every year.

I always said it was my ambition to have a library – I have one – and my dream was to have a pool. Then ‘Strictly’ came along.
