Sophie Ellis-Bextor's gets Strictly advise from her son | MarkMeets Strictly Come Dancing TV News |

The ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ singer and Strictly Come Dancing star Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been getting advise from her eldest son.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s eldest son, Sonny, told her that she would have his blessing to take part in Strictly on one condition and that was thet she “wouldn’t embarrass him”.

The star went on to say: “He said I could do it as long as I didn’t fail. Failing meant leaving first and happily I have got past that crucial moment. I’m so glad I didn’t embarrass him.”

“My girlfriends are doolally for it but I had to check that it was OK with my husband, with our kids and with my family because I knew that I would need so many people’s support to allow me to indulge myself in this way.”

Speaking to The Mirror, the singer-songwriter also spoke of her new album ‘Wanderlust’:

“‘It’s not pop, it’s not dance. I made it with a live band and it’s got elements of folk, and rock and lots of ballads. I just needed to do it.”

Strictly Come Dancing will be on BBC1 this evening (November 9) at 18.30 hours (GMT). The competition is now in its 8th week.

The mother-of-three has revealed she is the only contestant not resorting to tanning mist.
