@Source: mirror.co.uk
Dancing on Ice finalist Michaela Strachan has revealed that she's had "no sleep" since Sunday night's show, having lost out on the 2025 win to Corrie's Sam Aston.
Speaking to ITV's Lorraine Kelly, Michaela gushed about her friendship with skating partner Mark Hanretty, revealing that she felt "so chuffed" getting to perform the Bolero with him.
"I've had no sleep, I'm actually quite sick this morning, Lorraine. I think you can hear my voice is going," she said. "I've had the most incredible experience on there."
She added: "I think the win is the fact that we got to the final, I got to the do the Bolero with Mark Hanretty, which I'm just so chuffed about because it was his 12th year and he's never done the Bolero before."
Michaela appeared in last night's final alongside eventual winner, Coronation Street's Sam Aston, and fellow runner-up Anton Ferdinand. Ahead of the show, she revealed that she doesn't feel her age despite being the oldest contestant to make it to the final.
“I think more people in their 50s and 60s are being healthy and getting outdoors,” she said. “I’m the oldest celebrity to get to the finals but I don’t feel old.”
“As you get older, it’s very easy to sit back and think, ‘I’m nearly 60 now, I’ll stay comfy in my chair.’ But actually, I’ve felt 20 years younger doing this so it’s really proved to me that you should keep pushing yourself. It does make you feel younger.”
