SHE has been vocal about the indifferent treatment she says she received on Strictly – and now Sophie Ellis-Bextor has dropped another bit of a bombshell.
The singer, who was partnered with Brendan Cole on the BBC1 dance contest in 2013, says some of the expectations placed on her were rather harsh.
On the What If podcast, Sophie said: “You’ve been trying really hard so if they say, ‘Oh, that wasn’t very sexy’, well, was I being me?
“Or do I push it further? And if I do that, can I then go back to how I normally am?
“You know, there’s all these edges of yourself and how you present yourself. So once you put yourself in the hands of other people, it’s just about making sure you sleep well at night at the end of it, I guess.”
