Dani Dyer is back on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, and is determined to make the most of her second chance at the competition.

Dyer was forced to withdraw from last year's competition after she fractured her ankle during rehearsals. But now, she has made it through four live shows alongside Nikita Kuzmin.

In week 3, she earned her highest score yet of 27 with an impressive Tango rendition, however icons week proved slightly more challenging, with Dani admitting she'd experienced a wobble during training.

"It's been a bit of a difficult week," she said candidly. "I think this has been my hardest one. I had a little bit of a wobble on Wednesday, just because I doubt myself all of the time. I was like, 'I can't do it, I feel really silly.'"
