Home and Away star Esther Anderson has revealed that she is finding her Dancing With The Stars training more difficult than she expected.
The actress, best known for her role as Summer Bay's Charlie Buckton, is among the lineup of celebrities who will compete on the next series of the Seven reality show.
In an interview with TV Week, Anderson confessed: "Training is intense. It's way harder than I thought!
"I thought I'd have more natural talent, but it's just completely different. It's like learning another language and it's just so fast!"
Anderson said that she is currently spending around 12 to 15 hours per week in training but will soon up the number to 18.
Former Neighbours actor Blair McDonough and Packed To The Rafters star George Houvardas are among the other contestants who have signed up for the show.
Daniel has been writing about soaps on Digital Spy since 2004 and took over as Soaps Editor in 2010.
He has interviewed hundreds of soap stars over the years, from Bill Roache to Lacey Turner, and regularly visits the sets of Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks for behind-the-scenes trips and press events.
He has served as an awards judge on numerous occasions for the likes of the BAFTA TV Awards, RTS Programme Awards and British Soap Awards. In 2020, he was Highly Commended for Best Section Editor at the BSME Awards.
