Shropshire Star reports

Shropshire’s Strictly Dance Fever star Hollie Robertson will dance for British Legion members before starring in front of millions on BBC television on Saturday.

Hollie, who lives just outside Ludlow, has wowed viewers with stunning performances during the opening weeks of the contest.

Many people have picked Hollie and partner Darrien as possible winners of the £50,000 first prize.

Programme spokesman Dominic Lobley said: “Hollie and Darrien will be dancing the jitterbug this week and the group dance will be the Can-Can.

“Today, nine local British Legion members will visit the mansion for afternoon tea and scones.

“The jitterbug couples will perform their routines and get the expert advice and tips from the British Legion experts.�

Mr Lobley added that Hollie was working hard to perfect the routine and was keen to maintain her fine run of form in the competition
