GMTV presenter, Kate Garraway, has given her thoughts on why the public are still voting for her in Strictly Come Dancing, and she doesn’t think it is merely down to sympathy.

“Look, I know I’m not the best dancer, but this show isn’t just about who is the best dancer. If it was, they would have invited 50 celebrities to audition, then picked the best 14,” Garraway told the Daily Mail.

“I honestly don’t know why people have voted for me. Is it the underdog thing? I don’t think so. I like to think that I had an unfortunate start, and the viewers understood this, and could see that I was getting better every week.

“Anton [du Beke] told me that voters respond when they see a trier - and whatever you say about me, I am a trier. I’ve put my heart and soul into this competition, and I am getting better. Don’t forget, I’d never had a dance lesson before, whereas lots of the others have.”
