Ouch! We're so glad Anneka made it onto this year's StrictlyComeDancing
Anneka has been partnered with Kevin Clifton September 26, 2019 - 09:14 BST Aisha Nozari Strictly's Anneka Rice has revealed that she almost wasn't on the show at all and that producers told her that there was a 50% chance she wouldn't be able to partake in season 17.
Phil asked Anneka: "Your shoulder's OK and everything? As you fell over the day before the show started." Anneka then explained: "The day after I signed the contract, I had a really bad accident. So up to the week, two weeks before we started, the producers sat me down and said 'there's a 50/50 chance you won't be able to do it.'" The mother-of-three continued: "But luckily I had a cortisone injection in it.
She might still be suffering from a few aches and pains following an intense string of rehearsals, but Anneka is certainly amped up for Saturday's Strictly. When asked by Phil how she was feeling about her next stint on the dancefloor and whether the show's physiotherapists had managed to stitch her up properly ahead of the weekend, Anneka exclaimed: "Oh I can’t wait – and there's a rumour I might have to wear a proper frock.
