OHMYGOSSIP — Sally Dynevor can’t sleep because she’s so nervous about ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The ‘Coronation Street’ legend – who is partnered with show veteran Matt Evers – is growing in confidence with every performance on the skating show but she’s still gripped with “butterflies” and finds herself unable to drop off because she’s constantly thinking about her routine.
She said: “I thought this weekend I’d feel a little more relaxed about it but I don’t. I’m getting those butterflies again and Thursday night I couldn’t sleep, which happens a few nights before the actual show.
“Then last night I was going to sleep and I was hearing the music for our routine and I was thinking about the steps.
“You just lay there thinking, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’.
“I wake up Sunday morning thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, the show is tonight’.
“Then I spend the whole day just trying to focus. So I switch my phone off, just try to be calm and not look at social media. I just try to relax. I’m reading a book on confidence, so I read that before I skate.”
The 58-year-old star – who has three daughters with husband Tim – admitted her nerves have made her “eat for England”.
She told The Sun newspaper: “The doctor said I’ve just got to eat because having all those nerves you are just burning through so many calories.
“I’m eating for England because I think I deserve it too. I come off the ice and I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, chocolate bars, biscuits!’ I keep saying to myself that I can eat anything because I need the energy, so I haven’t actually lost any weight.
“But I am definitely feeling muscles I’ve never had before. I’ve got a couple of bruises that I’ve never encountered before, that’s from lifts and things.
“But it’s all good and part of the adventure.”
While Sally has no plans to leave ‘Corrie’ after 36 years, she admitted taking part in ‘Dancing On Ice’ has convinced her to try new things when the opportunity arises.
She said: “At work the other day I told everyone, ‘If I can go on a live show, not able to skate and pull it off for 90 seconds, then I can do anything’.
“Just because I’m in my fifties, coming up for my sixties, doesn’t mean I can’t live like I did when I was 20 and try new things.
“This is my philosophy from now on — I’m just going to have as much fun now as I did when I was in my twenties.”
