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!'"

James Lock says his drug scandal was "embarrassing".
The reality star - who was suspended from 'The Only Way Is Essex' earlier this year following his arrested for possessing ketamine - has admitted it has been a wake-up call.
According to Digital Spy, he told reporters in Ibiza: "No-one is bigger than the show, and what we do reflects on the show. We've got a young audience and it's not good, it's embarrassing.
"I was embarrassed; my family were embarrassed of me. Half of my family are in the police, [girlfriend] Danielle's dad used to be quite high up in the police, it's an embarrassment.
"Obviously he supported me and helped me out, everyone was supportive, that's all can you ask for. It's an embarrassment, I'm embarrassed. Everyone on Twitter and in the papers just ridicule you, saying, 'You're this, you're that', it's just an embarrassment."
The star also discussed - and apologised for - the incident itself, but insisted the drug "wasn't" is.
He explained: "What actually happened wasn't actually my fault. I was there, but I got into trouble for something that actually I didn't do.
"I didn't take [the ketamine] and it wasn't mine. And it wasn't in my system. The judge actually made it clear in the trial, he acknowledged that I didn't buy it.
"And it wasn't mine, he acknowledged that. It was just an unfortunate series of events. I was unlucky, very unlucky. There were loads of things that were left out. It looked like I was arrested and I had ketamine on me so everyone would jump to the conclusion, but it wasn't mine."

Demi Moore has offered to help "in any way" with her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' baby.
The 51-year-old star was previously married to the 'Two and a Half Men' star for eight years until she announced her decision to end their relationship in November 2011, but she is now said to be keen to support them when pregnant fiancée Mila gives birth to their first child together.
An insider told RadarOnline that Demi "has offered to help in any way that she can with the baby and with Mila."
The source added: "Things have settled down a lot, and she wants to be there for Ashton's family."
Demi - who has three children, Rumer, 26, Scout, 23, and 20-year-old Tallulah Willis from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis - is said to be in "total acceptance" about Ashton's new romance with his former 'That 70s Show' co-star Mila, who he got engaged to in February.
A source close to the raven-haired beauty said: "Demi is putting the past behind her now. She is in total acceptance now.
"She ultimately has great love for Ashton and has accepted the fact that he is in love Mila and that they are starting a family."
Ashton began dating brunette beauty Mila in 2012 following his split from his first wife Demi in 2011.
The former couple's divorce was finalised last November and Ashton popped the question to Mila, whom he met on the set of 'That '70s Show' in 1998, a few months later.

Pixie Lott cast her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire in her 'Break Up Song' video to make it more "real".
The 23-year-old singer enlisted the help of her 26-year-old beau to star in the video for the new single because she wanted to add a sense of authenticity to the song and it made it "less awkward" than acting out the clip with a model.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', the 'Broken Arrow' singer said: "I just thought it's one of my favourite songs on the album and I love the lyrics of it.
"I wanted to do a video where you could really see the emotion and where people could really relate to the song and I thought the only way I could get it most real was if I did it with my boyfriend.
"It's a bit awkward when you have to do it with a model or actor and you have to get all close.. and you want to laugh!"
But Pixie also revealed she got very emotional on set at the thought of her breaking up with Oliver for real.
She added: "He's a model but he does acting as well so it made it really easy and we just really got into the character and one of the takes we did I burst my eyes out crying.
"I was so sad because I really got into the character and I got into the zone and I thought it was real and I got really sad."
Pixie and Oliver have been dating for more than four years, but in an interview last month the male model said they won't be tying the knot anytime soon.
He told Attitude magazine: "We're both still young, she's 23, I'm 26.
"I think a lot of people rush in crazy to stuff, which is fine, you can do, if that suits you. But why change it, if we're happy at the moment?"

Jennifer Love Hewitt once sent Matt Damon a bed - but he never thanked her.
The 35-year-old star bizarrely flew out some sleeping apparatus to the 43-year-old actor 16 years ago when he was filming in Paris after reading an article about him complaining that he was disappointed he didn't have a "solid foundation" because he was always on the road.
Speaking on chat show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', he said: "Well, I'm not a normal person.
"I was reading an article and he said this really sad thing about how all his dreams were coming true but he didn't feel that he had a bed of his own, he was always travelling.
"I remember being really busy also and thinking that's so sad, to have all your dreams come true but not have a solid foundation. So for some reason, I thought an aerobed would help that for him,"
However, Jennifer isn't sure whether Matt ever received the unusual gift because she never got a thank you from him.
She added: "It made me sad. I understand maybe his security never gave it to him, that's a possibility."
The star admits if she had asked anyone's advice about sending the lavish gift they would've probably advised her against doing so and branded her "crazy", so she just went ahead and sent the bed to him.

Ben Affleck's kids aren't impressed he's playing Batman - because they prefer 'Frozen' to superhero films.
The 42-year-old actor has landed the role of The Caped Crusader in new movie 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' but his three children, Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and two-year-old son Samuel have shown little interest in him playing the DC Comics character.
But they are all obsessed with the 2013 Disney animated movie, which is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Snow Queen'.
During an appearance on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon', he said: "Because of the fact I'm playing Batman now, people say, 'Are your kids into it?' The truth is, they're not. If I was doing the sequel to 'Frozen' I would be a hero. My two older daughters couldn't give a s**t about Batman and they've now passed that affection onto my son. He's always like, 'Papa, can I watch Frozen?' And I'm like, 'No, dude, it's not on again!' "
When he's not playing Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne, Afleck spends a lot of his time with his children.
The Hollywood star - who is married to Jennifer Garner - is a regular at his oldest daughter's basketball games and he admits he shouts way too much during the match.
He said: "My oldest daughter started playing basketball and I'm already that guy. You remember in 'Parenthood', Ron Howard's brother was yelling at the kid from the sideline? That's me. I'm like, 'Bend your knees!' I don't even know if you should bend your knees, I'm terrible at basketball!"

Lynda Bellingham's husband Michael Pattermore says her impending death from cancer will "create the biggest hole my life".
The 66-year-old TV star has announced her intention to stop chemotherapy treatment for her terminal bowel cancer next month, which means she only has several weeks to live.
Michael - married the former 'Loose Women' co-host in May 2008 - has no idea how he's going to cope with the loss of his wife.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I am the most positive-thinking guy in the world. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how positive I am on this one, the Good Lord is going to take her. End of. It's scary and it's going to create the biggest hole in my life.
"I just don't know what the next few weeks will bring or how I am going to cope. The only things that's giving me comfort is that Lynda is very much at peace with everything - we've managed to sort everything out.
"I just pray to God she gets to see Christmas Day again. It's what she wants."
Lynda - who played the Oxo mum on the TV adverts - says she hopes her husband finds a new partner and moves back to Somerset, where he's originally from.

Robert Pattinson helped to choose the songs his sister performed on 'The X Factor'.
Lizzy Pattinson has revealed her Hollywood star sibling has been aiding her in deciding what tracks to perform on the ITV talent contest and impress the judges Mel B, Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.
The 31-year-old singer explained: "I just sent him a link to the songs for Judges' Houses and he said, 'They sound really cool.' One of the songs was quite obscure and he thought it was really good."
Lizzy - who is being mentored by Simon - also admitted that the 'Twilight' heartthrob has been really supportive during her time on the programme, and has been giving her tips to improve.
She added: "I am surprised how interested he is in it.
"He watched the first episode I was in. He gave me feedback and that meant a lot to me."
However, Lizzy's future on the show is unclear, as she was struck down with illness the day before travelling to Simon Cowell's Los Angeles home for the next round of auditions.
She said: "I started feeling ill the day before I left and it all came out at the wrong time. I did some swimming in the ocean, which probably didn't help.
"I didn't feel like I had any control of my higher range. I didn't know what note was going to come out. So I probably pushed it more than I would have normally."
The Judge's Houses episodes of 'The X Factor' will air on ITV this weekend.

Alison Hammond has been shocking her 'Strictly Come Dancing' co-stars with her saucy stories.
The bubbly 'This Morning' reporter has been revealing racy details of her love life to her fellow celebrities on the BBC One ballroom show making many of them blush.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Alison is always talking about her boyfriend and will tell everyone everything about him. She is hilarious and pretty out there with the detail she goes into."
It seems that it's not just the other dancers who have been left blushing after the 39-year-old's X-rated tales with beau Jamie Savage, 36, as producers have also unintentionally been treated to the raunchy details.
The insider continued: "The costumes and microphones go on first thing and the producers can listen in to everything."
Alison surprised viewers on Saturday night's opening episode of the hit dancing show with an energetic cha cha which scored an impressive 26 points.
Following the performance, Alijaz Skorjanec - who won the show with model Abbey Clancy last year - confessed that he also thinks Alison is an exceptional dancer, joking that he has found it hard to keep up with the popular presenter.
He quipped: "She is an amazing dancer. I am trying to keep up with her - she looks better shaking it than me."

Amy Childs is reportedly dating professional footballer Adam Smith.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star said to be enjoying a blossoming romance with the sportsman, who plays for A.F.C. Bournemouth in the Football League Championship.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Amy didn't want to rush into anything after all the publicity surrounding Darren.
"But she's really taken to Adam. They're roughly the same age and have the same interests.
"It's early days but Amy is hopeful it will turn into something really serious."
The 21-year-old soccer star is also from Essex, and it is said the pair share many mutual friends.
They have already been on several dinner dates after meeting in a local bar, which prompted them to swap phone numbers start sending each other flirty text messages.
Amy spoke last year about wanting to settle down, but admitted it might be difficult with her busy career.
She previously said: "I can't wait to get married. Not yet though, in a couple of years. I've always wanted a big wedding and want all my family there.
"But I just wouldn't have the time at the moment. I've got so much coming up work-wise that I couldn't cope with it."

Kelly Osbourne insists nobody will replace Joan Rivers on 'Fashion Police'.
The 29-year-old star hosted the programme alongside the comedienne until her death aged 81 earlier this month, and while the show is set to return next year for a new series, Kelly is insistent another present won't join the show.
She tweeted: "#enough already!!! yes @e_FashionPolice Will be back in January but NO ONE WILL REPLACE @Joan_Rivers! (sic)"
Despite this, Kathy Griffin is currently favourite to take Joan's place on the show alongside hosts Kelly, Giuliana Rancic, and George Kotsiopoulos.
E! confirmed earlier this month the show will return next year after the channel received the blessing of her daughter Melissa to keep the programme going.
A spokesperson said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honouring her memory on all of our platforms. We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of 'Fashion Police'.
"We decided, with Melissa Rivers' blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. 'Fashion Police' will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time."
Kelly was left "completely heartbroken" after Joan's death and paid tribute to her 'Fashion Police' co-host in a heartfelt message.
She wrote on her official Facebook page: "I'm completely heartbroken by the loss of my beloved Joan. Not only was she my boss, she was and will always be my teacher, therapist, closest friend, inspiration and the only grandmother I ever knew.
"She was family and I will never forget her. Laughter will be difficult for a while but when I'm sad, lonely or upset all I will have to do is think of Joan and a smile will cross my face. Laughter is what she gave us and laughter is what she would want us to do in remembrance of her."

Keira Knightley is not worried about turning 30.
The 29-year-old actress - who is best known for starring in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films - said she didn't enjoy herself during her early 20s because she was consumed by uncertainties, but admits she's been on an upward curve ever since she turned 25.
Keira told Glamour magazine: "I'm not actually worried about turning 30. Because, honestly, my early twenties were not much fun. Then after 25, things just got better and better.
"Maybe you stop caring as much about where you should be going and what other people think - which is all the s**t that makes you very unhappy early on."
Keira also admitted she is very happily married to Klaxons rocker James Wrighton, 31, saying she made the right decision to tie the knot in the south of France in May 2013.
She explained: "It was a bloody good day and a lot of fun. And yes, being married feels pretty good.
"You only get to choose one member of your family and I made a good choice. So well done, me!"
However, Keira - who appeared in 'Begin Again', alongside Mark Ruffalo, Adam Levine and James Corden, earlier this year - says married life has not led to her maturing.
She said: "I reached my peak of grown-up behaviour at 20 and 21, and it's been downhill since then.
"I was terribly sensible as a teenager but I've got far less so as I've grown up, which has been a huge relief for everyone - including my parents."
