Describe Strictly in one word?: "Family."
How do you feel to be part of Strictly's 20th year?: "It honestly is incredible that the show has been going on for such a long time. And not only that, it still brings joy to people. I don't know how, as a nation, we would ever get through winter without it. It feels like a full circle moment, not just for me, but for everybody that's ever been involved since its inception, from 2004 until now. I think everybody should just be proud that it's still going. It's just amazing. It's amazing that it's happening."
