What should have been one of the happiest days of the year for Daisy Lowe was tinged with sadness as she reveals her grandfather died during the first day of rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing.

“I want to discover how to use my upper body because with my radical mastectomy I had to remove my lats completely from the bone and attach them to the front, so when I move my back, [my chest] moves”, she said. I’ve been with the family whenever I’ve had time off, and my grandma’s coming to the recording.

Daisy was paired with pro Aljaz Skorjanec on last night’s launch show and says her friendship with fellow contestant Louise Redknapp helped her get through the tough time.

After being told her beloved grandfather Eddie Davis had passed away of a heart attack, the Jewish model told The Mirror: ‘I’m going to be dancing for him.

“I really like Louise but she is already an fantastic dancer and also was a judge on SYTYCD judging pro dancers”.

He said: “I’m not wearing any sequins, and no glitter, it’s all very classical”.

“I’ve always loved the show, and my grandma hasn’t missed an episode in 12 years – she’s obsessed”.

Irish presenter Whitmore’s Strictly partner, Italian dancer Pernice, has just come out of a relationship with Georgia May Foote – the actress recently announced their split on Twitter. “She made it all better”. We have never really been over-involved in each other’s careers.

The politician had failed to take the opportunity to lose weight and undergo intensive dance ahead of the recording since “that wouldn’t have been consistent with the spirit of the show”. “So it’ll be nice for people to get to know me”. We all go through this.
