Amanda Mealing’s skating past would be unfair on other Strictly celebrities

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Mealing says her figure skating past would make it unfair on other ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ celebrities.
The 51-year-old actress – who was coy when she was asked about the possibility of appearing on the BBC ballroom competition – admitted she has experience on the ice which would definitely make her a strong contender.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ on Tuesday (12.03.19), she was asked about the possibility of signing up for the show, and smiled as she said: “I love ‘Strictly’. ‘MasterChef’ and ‘Strictly’ are the only ones [I’d do]…
“I used to be an ice skater. I was point-five of a mark off being junior champion. No, it wouldn’t be fair, would it?”
The ‘Casualty’ star also opened up about the medical drama’s recent crossover episodes with sister show ‘Holby City’, and she admitted there were definite challenges during filming.
She explained: “The shows, individually are so tightly scheduled, if you think about it. On ‘Casualty’, we have 16 or 17 permanent characters, each of which have to be over four episodes – we shoot four at a time.
“So you can imagine scheduling just that one show. Then you have the fact that we’re four months ahead, ‘Holby’ is three months ahead.”
Quizzed about the changes of other crossovers in the future, Amanda – who originally appeared as Connie Beauchamp on ‘Holby City’ from 2004 to 2010 before joining the cast of ‘Casualty’ four years later – simply added: “You never know.”
Her comments come after she admitted being back on her old stomping ground made her nostalgic.
She previously said: “Do you know what? When I was there, I was walking around, thinking, ‘Do you know what? I’d like to come back, I think. I really would.’ I do love it there, I really do. So we’ll see.
“I didn’t realise how much I loved it. I obviously have great affection for the show. But actually being back just reminded me that I have so many happy memories there.
“It’s like an old friend. It’s like putting an old coat back on, and, you know, it’s lovely.”
