Rani said every dance had been special, but she singled out the popular BBC One ballroom show’s annual pilgrimage and her movie week performance.
“Blackpool and my paso doble was a highlight because it just got a huge reaction and to do it up in Blackpool was brilliant.
“My Ghost dance, that was amazing too, and just dancing with Gleb – it was all just incredible.”
