The 63-year-old actress and broadcaster was partnered up with Johannes Radebe on the 2020 series, but she described starring on the dance competition during Covid as ‘brutal.’ Speaking to the Metro about her time on Strictly, she explained that she didn’t get to meet or socialise with anyone other than Johannes.

She said: “I saw Johannes Radebe last week and asked if I had the worst year to do it, and he said definitely because normally we’d be socialising and meeting everyone.

We were masked and had no audience. It was horrible, actually.” Caroline went on to say that she feels like she drew the ‘short straw’ after taking part during the pandemic.Talking about the ‘brutal’ time, brought her and Johannes closer together, she added: “We used to laugh so much – it was just me and him in a room and then we would put our masks on and go to our separate digs. "It was pretty brutal.

But he and I bonded, and I think that’s us now for life.” It comes as The Men Behaving Badly star, from Surrey, recently revealed that she has regrets over prioritising her career over her children.
