Kidd: 'Strictly' changed public view of me

BBC

Jodie Kidd has credited her stint on Strictly Come Dancing with changing the public's perception of her.

The model, who was the tenth contestant to be voted off the competition last month, said that people who previously viewed her unfavourably now have a better opinion of her character.

"Strictly was fabulous," she told Red. "I loved every minute of it. It was a wonderful experience to learn a new skill and I've made some great friends.

"I've presented a few shows, like The Red Bull Air Race for Channel 4 and Jodie Kidd's Fashion Avenue in America, but, this time lots of people have said, 'We didn't know she was like that'.

"Perhaps everyone thought, 'Model...She's going to be a bitch'. And now it's, 'Oh, she's not that bad, actually'."
