The goal was for me to become a civil engineer. But one day I really felt that it was important for me to do what I really loved. I was really good at engineering, but I didn't have a passion for it, so going to work was something I had to do, not something that I really wanted to do.

The most important thing any person can focus on, whether in a first audition or a first job, is to be the best you can be. The rest will take care of itself.

My first passion was to create for young girls the idea that you have to be brave and courageous, it's not easy taking big steps and saying, 'I'm going to be a professional dancer'.

I had been dancing in competitions in South Africa since the age of four, before going on to compete internationally.

In the rest of Europe, dance is seen as a sport and in the UK it's seen as an art. And art isn't subsidised in the same way sport is.

I have a thing for earphones - I have five types.

Off the show, I still wear my £5 leggings.

I can make a beginner, anyone with no dance experience, look amazing if we put in the hours.
