She added that her family was excited, but that her mum had been "critical" already, saying: "She's like 'you need to move your hips more', I'm like 'mum, you're actually not a great dancer yourself so...."

It was also revealed that the star would be dancing to Rockin' Robin on the night, but that the style of dance would be kept secret.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Vogue Williams has appeared on our screens in a number of shows, such as Dancing with the Stars in Australia, Stepping Out and Bear Grylls: Mission Survive. She hosted her own series, Vogue Williams - On the Edge as well as paranormal investigation series Spooked Ireland.
