OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Adams’ boxing skills are helping her on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The former Olympian and Katya Jones have formed the first-ever same-sex dance partnership in the show’s history, and Nicola thinks her boxing career has already helped helped on the dance floor.
Asked how much the footwork comes naturally to her, Nicola explained: “Do you know what, a lot more than I thought!
“Quite a lot of it was from boxing, and I was quite surprised because I didn’t think there would be any similarities at all.
“I just had to practise pointing my toes! But the frame is very different to boxing, I am always so closed off.”
Then, Katya jokingly added: “Her shoulders are so tight!”
Nicola, 38, admitted that the ‘Strictly’ experience is a markedly different challenge to her boxing career.
However, the sports star is still relishing the opportunity.
She told ‘Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two’: “It’s different because you are working with someone instead of against someone. I am not on my own, I am not just thinking about me, me, me.”
Meanwhile, Nicola recently thanked ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fans for their support.
The gold medal-winning star took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the support she’s received over recent weeks.
She wrote on the photo-sharing platform: “I never thought I would enjoy dancing as much as I am. I was sooooo happy and excited last night dancing with @mrs_katjones Thank you everyone for your support and your messages! We’ll be working hard next week on the new dance, can’t wait for you to see it! (sic)”
