She stepped into the shoes of the late Sir Bruce Forsyth when he bowed out of hosting Strictly Come Dancing a decade ago.

Several historical videos have re-emerged in recent days, including one in which James Jordan can be heard threatening to drag actress Georgina Bouzova along the floor and shouting ‘kill you’ to her during the 2006 series. In another clip, Jordan is seen again verbally abusing Ms Bouzova while fellow professional dancer Brendan Cole bellowed at Emmerdale actress Claire King. Ms Bychkova, 34, pulled out of performing alongside Mr Widdrington at a Strictly Come Dancing-themed event, Donaheys’ Dancing With The Stars, on Friday night at the five-star Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.
