We are talking about, hopefully in the future, me coming and choreographing some of the pro numbers.'The team have known for years how passionate I am about creating things and choreographing. Lots of producers came to watch shows that I did myself.''This is the natural thing to do, because of what I love and what I want to do. It would be beautiful to see some of my creations and stories [that] I want to tell through dance on Strictly one day.'
