Angela Rippon Remembers… Come Dancing

Overview

Angela Rippon’s love of dancing dates back to the ballet lessons she took as a young girl, and here – as she celebrates her 80th birthday – she looks back on the days when her profession and her passion came together perfectly, through her hosting role on the BBC’s long-running dance series Come Dancing. Angela shares memories of the joy she experienced working on the original Come Dancing series, how it would open the door to her collaborating with some of her great dance heroes and what it was like years later to re-ignite her love affair with dance, thanks to Strictly Come Dancing.
