BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent has revealed the poignant truth behind joining the Strictly Christmas special following her marriage split.
Sally, 52, was one of the first three celebrities confirmed for the 2023 Strictly Christmas Special on Wednesday.
Sally has been partnered with Graziano Di Prima for the festive treat, and shared snaps of them together on the Strictly set after she was revealed on spin-off show, It Takes Two.
As they posed on the stairs on set, Sally captioned the happy shots: "I was in need of a little pick me up when the lovely people at Strictly called.
"They kindly suggested I might like to learn to dance with @grazianodiprima in time for Christmas.
"I am definitely not a dancer – but I will try my best. And there is no one better to learn with."
