Strictly Come Dancing professional Nancy Xu said she’s “loving” her time with Jamie Borthwick on the show’s Christmas special following a reported clash with her former dance partner Les Dennis earlier this year. Sharing her thoughts on her new partnership, Nancy, 32, said while it can be “really hard” and “difficult” to teach and get to know a celebrity quickly, she had no issue with EastEnders actor Jamie, 29.<\/p>\n

She spilled: “I am loving it, so so so much! The first time we met each other, he made me laugh non-stop. He gives it his all and trusts me and tries everything. Jamie has even been sharing his musical taste with me, and I\u2019ve been sharing different styles of dances as well and I think I can see the sparkle in his eyes!”<\/p>\n

Nancy added while time with the actor had gone “quick”, the short-lived period had been “so lovely”. “I\u2019m so glad I have him as my Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special partner,” she added. Of his time doing the Strictly special, Jamie added of Nancy: “I think I am quite a quick learner, remembering the steps I find relatively simple, but mastering them is a whole other level.<\/p>\n

“And we\u2019ve had such a laugh, but when it\u2019s time for us to work we do what we need to do. But it\u2019s so important we have a laugh. I\u2019ve tried to absorb as much as I can while we\u2019re together. The couples dancing, and rehearsing with all of the others really has been such a thrill.”<\/p>\n

In the main competition earlier this year, Nancy and Les became the first pairing to be voted off the show after performing just two dances together. Following his exit, the professional dancer mentioned “challenges” the pair had faced in her exit speech.<\/p>\n

She said: “It’s been a journey. This is such a short but a sweet journey. A lot of challenges we all know, but to see you (to Les) every day improve yourself. I respect you so, so much.\u201d Les added: “I\u2019ve had the best time, [Nancy] has been amazing, a great teacher, she\u2019s really put me through my paces. I did as well as I could for you, I hope!”<\/p>\n

Pointing at his fellow co-stars, he continued: \u201cThat lot up there, I\u2019m going to miss you so much. I really appreciate and understand the judges\u2019 point of view, thank you so much.\u201d Les went on to say he “hoped” he entertained the nation, adding: \u201cStrictly is the best and the people who put this on, you\u2019re just all amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
