Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Simmonds has spoken out about her fears ahead of joining the competition. "My biggest fear about competing on the show is that it's all new.

It's the unknown," says Ellie, 27, in an exclusive chat with OK!. "Yes, you see it on tv for years and years but the dancing on the live shows, it's something I've never done before. "But I'm going to be doing it in front of a live audience and millions will be watching at home." But Ellie reveals she "danced around the room" with excitement when the bosses called to ask if she wanted to join the show's celebrity line-up. "When I got my call for Strictly, I was literally buzzing.

I was dancing around the kitchen. I was so excited. I just couldn't believe it. I don't think it really hit me that I was going on Strictly Come Dancing," she shares.

And since joining the programme, Ellie revealed that a few celebrities have slid into her Instagram DMs. She explained: "The celebrities who have slid into my DMs since being announced on the show have been all of the pros.They just said, 'Congratulations.' "To be honest, I was quite starstruck and in awe of those!" As Ellie competes on the show alongside Nikita Kuzmin - who was partnered up with Tilly Ramsay last year - the swimmer spoke of who will be supporting her along the way.
