Strictly Come Dancing’s Jo Wood is said to be having hypnosis in a bid to conquer her nerves. Jo has been heavily criticised by the judges for her dancing style so far and is terrified of making a fool of herself on tonight’s show.

A source told The Mirror: “Jo and Brendan are doing the paso doble and he wants more aggression in the dance. But Jo is finding it hard to be feisty and even if the hypnosis session cures her nerves, it won’t change her style.

“Only large amounts of practice will help that.”

Jo, 54, hinted at the hypnosis on her Twitter site yesterday.

She said: “Not feeling so hot, hope I’m gonna be OK for Saturday’s show. Gonna work hard on my nerves.”
