Earlier on today we caught up with an elegantly dressed Natalie Cassidy popping to the shops for a bottle of water and packet of Vogue cigarettes.

The former Eastenders actress was taking a well-earned break from the gruelling Strictly Come Dancing training regime, which involves dancing for up to nine hours a day six days a week.

Meanwhile, in other Strictly news it’s been reported that the hit BBC show has finally admitted defeat in the ratings war and have decided to move the programme to an earlier time slot so it doesn’t clash with X Factor. Yey, now we can watch both!

But wait, it’s not quite as simple as that, although Strictly are moving to 6.50pm it wont end until 8.45pm so it will still overlap X Factor by 45 mins. What’s the point in that?! Hmpf!
