Strictly's Angela Rippon has admitted she's struggling with the waltz ahead of her next performance.

TV legend Angela, 79, is set to take on the German ballroom dance tonight, as she and her pro partner Kai Widdrington, 28, battle it out to remain in the competition.

But in a new interview with The Mirror, Angela's revealed that she's been finding training tough this week.

While her exact quotes are not included in the story, it's noted the strength and energy required below the surface are to blame.

Kai said: “To do a dance slowly well requires a lot of control and technique.

So far, Angela's tried her hand at the cha-cha-cha, foxtrot, quickstep, rumba, Argentine tango and charleston.

She's thought to be waltzing to Fascination by Nat King Cole later on.

Last week, Angela suffered a 'wardrobe malfunction' after her sensual rumba wowed the judges.

She and Kai performed the Rumba to Conchita Wurst's tune Rise Like a Phoenix.

The pair impressed the judges  Craig Revel-Horwood, Anton du Beke, 57, Motsi Mabuse, 42, and Shirley Ballas, 63, with their routine.

They managed to get an impressive 31 out of 40 tonight.

However right at the end of the dance, Angela's shoe nearly came off on the dance floor as she walked over to Tess Daly.

Kai rushed to the rescue and fixed it for her.

"I got it!," he told them, while Tess told the audience: "Wardrobe malfunction, nothing to worry about. It's just the shoe."
