She’s had a busy week – that’s for sure. But tonight, Katie Price will be celebrating rather than commiserating because she’s already made it through to the Let’s Dance For… Comic Relief finals. She joins Russell Kane in being the first two acts through to the big show that will take place on Saturday 12 March.
And it was Graham Norton and Frank Skinner who gave KP their votes - after Katie danced her way through Queen’s I Want To Break Free – which apparently was so dazzling, the judging panel still loved it despite Katie proclaiming she has “two left feet”.
Earlier Katie tweeted, “Nearly time I'm so NERVOUS… Have a giggle on my expence [sic]”. But despite the nerves, she got the votes and later thanked her fans for being so nice and keeping her in the competition. “I can’t believe having two left feet has actually paid off…not a bad result for my dancefloor debut,” she said after the show. Trust us, love – we can’t believe it paid off either – we weren’t expecting that!
Katie and Russell will compete for the winning title and a chance to be in the Let’s Dance Hall Of Fame – following in the footsteps of Rufus Hound (who performed to Fight For This Love in 2010) and Robert Webb (who danced to Flashdance - What A Feeling in 2009).
We’re not sure we can take the smugness if she does win – but hey it’s all for charity, no one got hit by a car – you’ve got to give the girl credit for that.
