The former Emmerdale star continued to discuss how she went through the same thing while on Strictly Come Dancing: “People put you in that envelope. I wanted to prove people wrong that I wasn’t the chunky fat one.

“I was petrified. The main thing that scared me was being lifted. We had to switch it round; there was a rule book this thick and I lifted Robin. It ended up being great for the show.”

She added: “I am the only woman in strictly history to lift a man.”

The star, who lost a stone a week after eating just 400 calories a day, went on to say she was determined to the show because she had “a right” to be on it.

“I knew I had natural rhythm. I wanted to show people I had the right to be on national television,” she said.

“I have overcome fears. I could never go on bridges. I have been on the biggest bridges on the world because of Strictly.”
