Laura on her Strictly comeback: ‘I feel like I’m not 100 percent ME’

Laura Whitmore had to bow out gracefully from last week's Strictly Come Dancing due to an ankle injury.

The Bray native will take to the dance floor again tonight but has admitted she's lost a lot of confidence in herself.

She told the Irish Mirror: “I am a really confident person when it comes to presenting on TV but I’ve lost it.

“I feel like I’m not 100% me. When you start the show you’re so out of your depth.

“I felt terrible last Saturday but I’ve given myself a new lease. You can only do your best.

“The support from everyone willing you on makes such a difference," she added.
