Tess Daly recently shared a behind-the-scenes secret about the iconic Blackpool Tower ballroom.
The venue has hosted for many years as each season, celebrities and their partners take to the famous dance floor.
Daly revealed a key element that makes the Blackpool experience unique—the sprung floor. She explained: “I know, love them, and, you know, it’s that, it’s, it’s just the home of Ballroom, it’s that remarkable sprung floor, so you walk on it and it bounces, it moves with you.”
The 55-year-old host went on to describe the impact the sprung floor has on the dancers: “So someone gets on there and does a jive and their face like, ‘Oh, I’m a foot higher in the air than I normally am when I dance this routine.’ It’s, it’s, it’s a unique venue and it just brings the most incredible atmosphere.”
Opening up about what it means for the dancer to get to Blackpool, she added: “Everyone’s really thrilled to have made it to that point. It’s a real milestone in the show, so I can’t wait to get the bus to Blackpool. I’ll be having Fish and chips on Saturday.”

Katya added: “To be honest with you, the smile hasn’t left my face since the first day of our training, since the day we got partnered up.
“You (Wynne) have made this experience so joyous and so full of laughter for me. I’m sure everybody was jealous because you’re the kind of guy that everybody wants in their life. You bring light, you bring laughter, you bring charisma, you fill up every room you walk into with those qualities.”
