Mrs Brownās Boys actress Jennifer Gibney was one of the last celebrities to be announced for this yearās series of Strictly Come Dancing. She joined the show she says simply because she was asked.
Is Jennifer a competitive person? āYouād have to ask my family that question ā I donāt think I can answer it honestly. I have been known to upend the odd Trivial Pursuit board in my time, but my family would probably be the better judge about that than me.ā
Who would make the perfect dance partner? āIt would be someone who embraces fun and who understands the fact that I am a beginner. And I think the two of those things will balance each other out.ā
Part of the Strictly magic is the sequins, glitter and tan which Jennifer says sheās used to, āYes, we had it every Tuesday on Mrs Brownās Boys, we called it tanning Tuesday, I am used to it, I am going to embrace it.ā
Strictly Come Dancing returns at 8pm Sunday on BBC One. Watch Jennifer’s launch interview below:
