"Me and Nikita were saying like, 'how are we going to work it?' And we're both in the unknown," she said.
"In the dwarfism community, I've had so many different people reaching out not just in the UK here but worldwide being like, 'wow, Ellie you're doing this, you're gonna help us and represent us' and like, that's a huge, huge honour.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows also stream on BBC iPlayer.
