Denise Van Outen: 'I can't wait for Strictly Come Dancing sexy numbers'

Denise Van Outen has said she looking forward to the "sexy" Latin choreography on Strictly Come Dancing, as there is "more to get your teeth into".

The TV presenter, who is competing with professional dancer James Jordan, told The Sun that she feels she is more suited to the raunchier numbers "personality wise".



Van Outen explained: "I am really looking forward to the sexy Latin dances, because I feel like I'm more suited to them. Personality-wise, it's more of a match.

"There's more to get your teeth into and you can be a bit sexy. I like more fast-paced styles, because I've got a lot of energy and I want to use it."



This weekend, Van Outen and Jordan performed a waltz to 'With You I'm Born Again', and the 38-year-old she was surprised at the lack of connection through the dance.

Van Outen said: "I always thought the waltz was a nice dance for a couple to share an intimate moment, but you don't even look at each other throughout.

"Where's the romance in that, I ask you? I showed [husband] Lee [Mead] my waltz on Skype and realised afterwards he'd gone off to make a cup of tea - so much for the dance being sexy."

Strictly Come Dancing next airs on Saturday (October 13) at 6.30pm on BBC One.
