Strictly Lulu gets carried away
LULU fell head over heels after being paired with Brendan Cole on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Lulu said she was shocked to be partnered with the towering ballroom dancer– and wasted no time in getting acquainted.
Shouldering Lulu, 62, with ease, the 6ft 1in New Zealander swept the laughing Shout star away.
She said: “I was completely stunned to get Brendan because he’s the tallest dancer and I’m the smallest celebrity.
“We didn’t think we’d be paired in a million years.”
A smiling Nancy Dell’Olio, 50, kept her feet on the ground as she was introduced to dance partner Anton du Beke who took great care to hold tight the trained lawyer.
Saturday night marked the opening of the top-rated ballroom dancing contest.

Half the couples take the floor on Friday, September 30, the remaining seven the next day, when they must dance either a waltz or cha-cha.
