Caroline Flack and Pasha Kovalev
Caroline Flack speaks to the other 'Strictly Come Dancing' stars on WhatsApp "every day."
Caroline Flack has revealed she keeps up to date with what her fellow "lovely, supportive" 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestants are doing everyday through a WhatsApp group.
The former 'Xtra Factor' presenter praised fellow female contestants Pixie Lott and The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge for being "lovely" and revealed they are always chatting on the popular instant messaging app.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards at One Mayfair in London on Wednesday (03.12.14), she gushed: "Pixie and Frankie are just brilliant. They're the most lovely, supportive, non-competitive group of girls I've ever met. All the girls on 'Strictly' actually, we've become really close.
"Since day one we've spoken to each other every day on this WhatsApp group, and we still do, even people who are not on the competition, it's just been really nice."
The television presenter soared to the top of the leaderboard on Saturday evening's (29.11.14) Dancing Around the World special with a Turkish-inspired Charleston, and has surprised herself with her dancing ability.
She said: "I've found something that I really enjoy doing, I didn't realise. I didn't think I'd have the confidence to do it, and I didn't think I'd be able to get this far, definitely. It was more of a challenge for myself, and now, it's such a cliché, but I've surprised myself a bit with how much I've enjoyed it."
Caroline - who is partnered with dance professional Pasha Kovalev - also praised the show's hosts Tess Daly, Claudia Winkleman and Zoe Ball, who presents spin-off show 'It Takes Two' and recently co-hosted the main programme when Claudia was forced to take time off.
The 35-year-old beauty added: "If you look at the whole show it's very girl-powered. You've got Claudia and Tess, you've got Zoe, they're holding the reigns of one of the best shows on telly at the minute."
