Sam Quek on her involvement in this year's Strictly

The TV presenter and former hockey star spoke to 5 Live’s Rachel Burden about the contrast between winning gold medals and competing on the dance floor.

She said: β€œWhen you're an Olympian or even when you go on to win a gold medal, you carry that title which is amazing. But I also have to take myself down a notch or two and think actually that was eight years ago.”

Asked about Strictly lasting two decades, she said: ”People get so much joy, so much excitement, it brings people together and everyone has a different experience….To be going that long says something about the show.”
