Strictly Come Dancing spotlight: Jennifer Gibney

Mrs Brownā€™s Boys actress Jennifer Gibney was one of the last celebrities to be announced for this yearā€™s series of Strictly Come Dancing. She joined the show she says simply because she was asked.

Is Jennifer a competitive person? ā€˜Youā€™d have to ask my family that question ā€“ I donā€™t 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? ā€˜It 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 sheā€™s used to, ā€˜Yes, we had it every Tuesday on Mrs Brownā€™s 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:
