During her appearance on Monday's episode of The One Show, Sam expressed her relief at finally sharing the news, stating, "I am so relieved it is out there now; it has been hard to keep a secret!" She acknowledged her experience dancing during nights out but emphasized her commitment to giving her best effort on the show.

The show is set to return to the BBC this autumn, promising a season filled with entertainment and talent as contestants take to the dance floor.
