The ‘Sh***** Married Annoyed’ podcaster revealed she was forced to say sorry to the 36-year-old comedian - who reached the semi-finals of the BBC Latin and ballroom show in 2019 with pro dancer Karen Hauer - because she has realised how "gruelling" training for the competition is while she has been gearing up to take part in the Christmas special.
The 36-year-old television - who has two sons Robin, six, and Rafe, 11 months, with Chris - said: “Training has been good but it's surprised me just how gruelling it is and how difficult the dance is.
"All the other couples' dances are looking so polished and they're doing such a good job. You definitely come in a bit naive to it and you think 'Oh it's easy' but I've had to apologise to Chris!
"My husband did 'Strictly' in 2019 and I didn't give him any sympathy at all. I told him he was overreacting and have I had to apologise because now it's my time!”
Rosie - who will take to the floor with her professional partner Neil Jones, 40, on Christmas Day (25.12.22) - admitted “feeling really good” about her attempt at landing the Glitterball trophy.
She said: “I'm feeling really good about the show. It's so positive and such a lovely atmosphere! Learning the routine has been really fun and there's such a strong festive feel everywhere! Being a mother of two, it can be quite hard and overwhelming but doing this has actually helped me really enjoy this time of the year.”
Rosie - who will appear on the festive special with Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star Larry Lamb and CBeebies presenter George Webster - confessed she wants every bit of “sparkle” she can get her hands on in the run up to the programme.
Rosie said: “It's been so fun being strictly-fied, I went to get hair and makeup done the other day when we recorded the group dance, and she was like, 'Is this too much?' I was like 'Are you kidding me, no!' This is ‘Strictly’ you know, I want ALL the sparkle!”
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special' will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day.
