Caroline Flack compared ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ to 1987 film ‘Dirty Dancing’.
The TV presenter is a contestant on the 12th series of the celebrity ballroom competition, and she admitted it sometimes feels like she’s part of the iconic movie.
She told the London Evening Standard newspaper: "’Strictly’ is basically ‘Dirty Dancing’.
"That’s the only way I can explain it. And [Pasha Kovalev] is Patrick Swayze – look at him!
"He’s like ‘step on the two,’ and I’m ‘eeek! It’s Dirty Dancing! Eeek!’ "
However, when the stress – of her both her professional and personal lives – get too much, it’s not the 1980s classic she turns to.
Caroline has admitted she is a huge fun of horror movies, and she enjoys the adrenaline of "fear" to get "rid of anxiety".
She added: "I watch horror films, if I’m having a bad day because fear takes away every other feeling. I will open the window to make it extra scary. Seriously.
"It’s a great technique for getting rid of anxiety, frustration or sadness. I just scare myself s***less. And then I go to bed thinking, ‘oh no, I wish I wasn’t so scared!’"
