Strictly’s Jowita gushes over Danny Cipriani’s ‘special moves’ ahead of Xmas special and adds ‘he understands my crazy’
SINCE steamy pictures emerged of their training sessions, Danny Cipriani and Jowita Przystal have been the talk of Strictly’s Christmas extravaganza.
And they’re doing nothing to dampen the rumours after gushing about their union.
The new duo are one of the six celebrities who will dance in the special on Christmas Day at 4.40pm.
Jowita said: “He can teach me to dance, he’s got the moves.
“Danny understands my crazy.”
Danny added: “Maybe not the Cha Cha Cha, she can teach me that!
“It’s a blessing to step into Jowita’s world, and for her to teach me some special moves.
“But also the humility and the grace that she works under, it’s the essence of who she is, while being an absolute genius at what she does, it’s so nice to be around.
“She’s world class, but so humble.”
Elsewhere TV historian Dan Snow will dance with Nadiya Bychkova, Sally Nugent is with Graziano Di Prima while EastEnders’ Jamie Borthwick is with Nancy Xu.
Neil Jones is dancing with childrens’ TV presenter Tillie Amartey and Keisha Bunchanan is with Gorka Marquez.
Danny is excited to get his infamous ‘Dougie’ move on to the dancefloor after it became his go-to on the rugby field.
The former England ace said: “Well what people know me for is the Dougie, because when I was 22, I scored a try and did the Dougie afterwards.
“Now I do the Dougie everywhere I go because I like it and add bits to it.
“It’s a good one to put smiles on faces!”
He added: “I feel absolutely privileged that I get the opportunity to learn a dance with professional dancers who are experts in their role, and I get coached by them, to get to a level where I feel happy enough to go out and perform it to an audience.
“It’s been an amazing experience.
“It was something that I definitely wouldn’t have done years ago.
“But I was with my friend and they said, ‘you have to do it, you love to dance’.
“I felt it in my chest that it was the right thing to do, so I committed to that and felt like I wanted to do it, so I said yes.”
