Alesha says her nans helped her get through a difficult week
Alesha says last week was one of her toughest yet but that her nans' support helped her get through the dances on the night.
'The whole week of the Foxtrot was pretty emotional,' she says. 'My nans came down and surprised me. That was good fun and put things in perspective. The day they came in they said 'you aren't taking it seriously'. I couldn't believe they came down to tell me off!'
'The dance itself was emotional. It was one of the hardest weeks I've had. The reason I nearly cried was a build up of things that had happened in my life - then dancing to a song that was emotional for me.'
Despite being more consistent than some of the other celebrities, Alesha says she still finds herself under a lot of pressure. 'When the judges are looking for perfection it makes you nervous as I am not a professional dancer,' she says.
'It's hard to hear that the other couples have been on a journey. I've been on my own journey. I feel that I am living out people's dreams. I remember sitting on my couch thinking 'what would it be like to do that?'.'
The couple are still training every minute they can. 'We are putting all the hours in because it means everything to us. I am never ready to go home. Sleep is annoying - it wastes hours. If you really love something you never quite feel like you are there.'
žIf I go on Saturday I won't be unhappy that I didn't win but that it has come to an end. If it ends I will be in tears. The ultimate reward would be to make it to the final. That would be the icing on the cake.'
