Excited sports stars James Cracknell and Alex Scott get set for the Strictly live shows.
You wouldn’t think that a double Olympic gold medal-winning rower and a female footballer with 140 caps for England would be worried about twirling round a dance floor. But despite their achievements, the irrepressible James Cracknell and bookies’ favourite Alex Scott admit they are feeling pretty anxious about their chances of glitterball glory.
As the live shows begin this week, Scott, 34, who is dancing with professional Neil Jones, and Cracknell, 47, partnered with Luba Mushtuk, tell TV&Satellite Week about their hopes and fears…
You’re both sportspeople – training for Strictly should be a breeze, right?
