Exclusive: Lesley Joseph 'I would love Ore Oduba to win Strictly Come Dancing!'
LESLEY JOSEPH ON LEAVING STRICTLY COME DANCING...
The glitterball is out of reach. The sequins have been hung up. And Anton Du Beke is putting his feet up. We found out how life after Strictly is treating Lesley...
'I do like my high heels. I'm only 5ft 2in you see. And that was the difficulty, I was dancing with Anton who is about 6ft 3in. It was really difficult to get my shoulders up!
'The last two weeks for me have been incredibly difficult because we've been filming Birds Of A Feather. Anton was alright, he was by the pool with a cocktail.'
'It's an entertainment show, people will vote who they want to. People like Danny and Louise are wonderful dancers and then you get Ore Oduba who can't stop crying because he's so excited by it. It's wonderful to see people's journey.'
'I'm devastated to be out to be honest. I absolutely adored it. I danced for three years from five to eight. And then rediscovered it at 70 - oh, I'm 71! They kept mentioning my age on the programme and it was frustrating. A lot of people on the programme have had injuries and I'm fit as a flea.'
'I have huge natural energy. I've been doing 15 hour days for weeks. I wouldn't mind who won because they are the best group of people but I would love Ore to win!'
'I don't think Ed Balls has lost a stone, I think he's lost half a stone. And I have seen the line from Ed's spray tan. I won't go into it, I can't possibly share that.'
